One page shows swirling lines resembling oversized combs and butterflies, coiled springs, and knotted ropes. The other page features sequences of small circles resembling beads, arcs reminiscent of shells or musical notes, and sinuous figures suggesting serpents or smoke, giving a sense of movement and an organic quality to the drawing.
