Work Description: 
A snaking crimson lifeline surrounded by white pigment runs from bottom center edge up to the left and off the top edge. Two small greenish forms peek into the scene at the bottom left and bottom right corner, also both surrounded by white pigment. Finally, a ghostly yellow shape hovers at top right, surrounded by white and accented by a flat gray form along its lower edge. Black pigment fills the space around these shapes, flattening the space and pressing the forms forward.
