Work Description: 
White, organic forms rise into an inky black background. The largest of the forms stands at the center of the composition, and has a bright yellow life-line running through its core from top to bottom. A smaller white form stands along the left edge and grows parallel to the central form. This white form has a turquoise lifeline running through its center and three orange dashes at its apex. Four smaller white forms float around these two central figures along the composition's top and bottom right, surrounded by black and accented with streaks of brown, yellow, crimson and orange.
