A circular disk of coiled linen and cork features a continuous spiral radiating from a hollow, black center. Dyed a vibrant blue, the linen is tightly wrapped to create a fine, ribbed texture across the surface. Broken concentric arcs of bright green and black punctuate the blue, following the curve of the coil. A plain cream-colored band secures the outer edge, contrasting with the intense colors and repetitive circular form.
