Work Description: 
Thickly painted, white pigment fills this medium-size, square composition, surrounding a jagged "c"-shaped crimson form floating at center. Jagged black forms border the right side of the crimson form, and a yellowish-brown, ghostly form enters from the upper right edge towards the central figure. A horizontal streak of paint in the same yellowish-brown pigment hovers in the upper left quadrant amidst the white paint, and two orange paint dots—one on top of the other—sit at the top left edge of the canvas.
