This painting features a white circular pattern with interlocking triangular shapes and lines radiating outward from the center, where there is a green swirling shape. The white sections have thin gray lines in them, which give the impression that this is a piece of paper that has been folded and then unfolded. Along the white sections are lines of text written in a cursive script. Surrounding the central motif are symmetrical bird-like shapes in pastel shades of blue, green, pink, and orange. The background is black.
