A large blue ovoid shaped form punctuated with streaks of deep purple and red floats in the composition's lower and central quadrants surrounded by bare canvas. A smaller red form hugs the top right edge of the blue shape, a smaller black form hovers amidst the bare canvas above the blue form, and, lastly, a smaller yellow form sits along the top center edge. A tiny flash of orange can be seen within the yellow form's center.
