Work Description: 
A large red form rises from the bottom center edge of the canvas to just above center. A smaller black form falls from the top center edge, almost merging with the red form below. A bolt of white intersects both forms, vertically connecting the the two forms. A small yellow lifeline splits the white form. Bare canvas fills the rest of the work, except for two thin brown forms which buttress the entire composition.
