An abstract landscape of collage and printed elements

A few bold elements form this abstract landscape. A vertical rectangle is bisected horizontally across the top third. The smaller, upper section is a black field, and the larger, lower section a shimmering iridescent gray field, which reflects in undulating vertical waves. In the dark upper field, a bright iridescent circle hovers in the center, reflecting in varying colors. In the lower section, a long, irregular, curling shape which is similarly iridescent, stretches from the center to the middle of the bottom.
