A human face appears superimposed over a river flowing out of a tunnel

On a cream colored background, bold, curving black lines depict a human face at center. It is framed by a ring of flame-like black hair, with many tiny white eyes appearing within its black eyes, and also within its hair. The face is superimposed over the image of a river flowing out of a tunnel, and curving into a black star filled night sky. Crystals float on the river, each carried along by individual waves, indicated by thin curved lines. The receding arched walls of the tunnel are indicated by thin lines that curve over and around the face at foreground.
