Work Description: 
Translucent white pigment is layered across the majority of this composition. The work's bare canvas is exposed at the top left corner, top center edge, and several areas across throughout the white. A thin black vertical lifeline with a crimson core extends from the bottom to the top of the composition, zig-zagging slightly to the right as it nears the top edge. An additional black vertical form with cobalt blue accents resides at the work's bottom right edge.
