Work Description: 
A thickly painted, mustard-colored pigment covers the majority of this composition. A vertical, brighter yellow, totem-like form rises from bottom edge to top edge just left of center. A similarly-colored, smaller form sits along the work's bottom right edge. To the larger form's left, a bubblegum pink shape sits in the bottom left corner, rising halfway up the left edge. Just to the right of the tall yellow form near the work's top edge, a grayish-blue, amoeba-like form floats amidst the mustard pigment. A tiny red shape sits along the gray form's center right edge, and a similarly-sized sky blue shape hovers directly to the right of the red accent. White pigment is used throughout the painting to highlight the various forms' craggy edges and separate them from their mustard surroundings.
