This painting displays interlocking shapes outlined in bold black lines. Bright colors fill the shapes, including red, blue, and green, with one yellow section. The shapes are stacked together, along with some solid black shapes. Some of them have black dots in them, like eyes. Some of the shapes are squares or triangles, while others are more abstract. The background outside of the shapes is off-white with splatters of black, yellow, and brown paint. The splatters are visible under some of the colorful paint within the shapes.
