A circular, flat coil composed of linen-wrapped cork strips. Off-white threads spiral outward from a central opening, broken by irregular segments of dark blue, olive green, and black. These colored threads create fragmented concentric rings across the disc's surface. An ivory-colored linen band tightly encases the outer perimeter. The composition emphasizes the repetitive texture of the wrapped material and the rhythmic, scattered arrangement of the darker hues.
