A circular linen and cork textile wound into a flat, dense spiral features a hollow green opening at its core. Rhythmic, concentric rings of vibrant red, deep blue, and forest-green threads radiate outward. A broad black band creates a bold border near the perimeter. A slender white strip wraps the external circumference, securing the coiled structure. The repeating patterns and saturated colors create a vibrant, target-like effect across the surface.
