The sculpture depicts a geometric design with black and white rectangles. It is contained within a black frame functioning like a box, featuring a front side with vertical transparent stripes. The materials seem to be a mix of opaque and clear synthetic surfaces. The sculpture displays a modern, abstract appearance with depth and layering from the overlapping lines and shapes. The black frame contrasts the intricate design visible through the striped front.
