A collage of iridescent materials that forms an abstract landscape

A few brightly colored elements form this collaged print which is laid out in a horizontal rectangle. A bright blue iridescent strip occupies the lower quarter, reflecting light in a shimmering horizontal pattern like waves on water. Just above this is a narrow yellow strip which is patterned with black polka dots and edged in black along its upper and lower edges. Its upper edge undulates slightly, suggesting rolling hills. The upper three quarters is filled with an iridescent pink field, which features reflective that ripple out and upward, from two oval shapes located at middle left and middle right.
