A horizontally oriented print consists of six square panels in a grid of two rows. Each panel features a thin, white line drawing of a geometric shape against a dark gray, grainy background. The top row depicts a circle, a square, and a triangle. The bottom row displays a vertical rectangle, a trapezoid, and a parallelogram. These minimalist compositions emphasize the contrast between the fine lines and the textured dark field.
