A central white cruciform dominates this vertically oriented print on tan paper. Stippled tan discs occupy the lobes, encircling a gold disk marked with a white cross and teal plus signs. Beneath, a stack of triangles anchors a multi-colored arc that sweeps leftward. This band terminates at a stylized, square-headed figure with raised arms, creating a rhythmic interplay of geometric forms and precise lines against the flat, neutral background.
