Work Description: 
A deep black, velvety pigment covers most of this vertical canvas. A gray form rests along the bottom and rises along the left edge. A pencil-thin yellow and orange shape sits along the upper left edge, and a thin white lifeline runs through the gray form at left from top to bottom. A cerulean blue form floats at the top right quadrant, surrounded on all sides by black. A similarly-sized dark crimson form is visible entering the scene at the top right corner.
