Abstract print with organic shapes. The lower right features a red figure with outturned feet, no head above the neckline, and two arcing strings where each arm would be. A side view of a smaller figure with wavy hair floats behind. To the left towers a black structure like a stalk with waving petals. Across the print radiate circles of white dotted lines. These shapes overlay white and orange strips flanking a thinner yellow strip.
