Work Description: 
In this large, predominantly brown composition, two dual abstracted figural presences face off. On the left, a tall jet black figure with streaks of white and red highlighting its crest faces the figure on the right, which is composed primarily in gray with yellow sinuous lines running through its center. A deep mustard-colored jagged form enters the scene at the bottom left corner, and another black form sits on the gray form's bottom right edge.
