Very large canvas which is almost completely covered in dark purple, with bare canvas only on the left and right corners. There is a large black form that extends from the bottom to the top edge of the canvas; part of the black is matte but there is a portion of more textured black paint layered on top and extending toward the center of the canvas. There is a very large red form that in the almost center of the canvas, which touches towards the bottom edge of the canvas. Close to the viewer's right edge of the canvas is a small orange form with blank canvas around it. There is a brighter purple form in the viewer's right corner.
