A color lithograph on vertically oriented paper features a central mass of overlapping black and gray circular forms against an irregular tan wash. This organic cluster tapers downward, flanked by five thick, gray horn-like shapes curving outward—one left and four right. Vibrant red brushstrokes are scattered near the bottom and middle left. The grainy, layered texture balances dense dark shapes with sparse accents on off-white paper.
