A circular linen and cork textile features concentric rings wrapped in parallel threads of royal blue, bright red, and green. The segments of color shift as they spiral inward toward a dark central hole, revealing glimpses of light-colored cork edges. A short section of black wrapping marks the upper-left outer edge, while a flat white band secures the bottom, holding the tightly wound layers into a flat disc.
