Abstract mechanical drawing of a grid receding in perspective

A square is rendered in precise mechanical black ink lines on cream paper. The square is subdivided into seven horizontal and vertical rows of equally sized squares. This grid appears to extend back in space, with smaller squares shown in perspective, receding back toward the center. Various cubes within this grid are colored yellow, with nearer ones a bright yellow, and ones that appear farther, a paler yellow. Similarly, some panels of other cubes are red. A large panel further in at the center is a pale blue.
