Swirling forms in ocher, yellow, white and gray fill the upper and center areas of this composition. Black forms accented by orange rise from the bottom edge up into the ocher and gray fields above. Crimson pigment surrounds a black form at bottom right, and tapers into a thin crimson lifeline which reaches up along right edge through a flat white field of color. A small navy form squeezes into view between a white and yellow form at top center.
