Work Description: 
A peaceful blue-gray pigment fills this entire composition. Various white forms of different sizes and shapes flutter amidst the gray field. The largest of the white forms is located near the top left, and seems to flicker as it reaches in different directions. Tiny flashes of yellow and red hover near this form, and small patches of bare canvas graze the multiple other white forms.
