A vertically oriented print on white paper features a central black rectangle in which a large, twisted gray form stands beside a small spiral. Thin purple lines sweep across the composition in wide arcs, intersecting to form an irregular geometric pattern that extends from the black center onto the surrounding white paper. Faint embossed markings appear in the upper left corner of the deckled-edge sheet.
