Work Description:
Two tall black forms rise side by side from the bottom of this composition up to near the top edge in front of a stark white background. A disjointed green and dark red forms surround their bases near the bottom edge. Though both figures are thin and somewhat crooked in nature, both have sturdier bases which narrow as they rise before they end in sharp points. The figure on the left has several dashes of crimson red near its apex. A circular yellow form floats at the top left corner, suggesting a sun or some other type of glowing orb.
