A group of abstracted, partially rendered figures in a room

Against a blank, off-white background, spare dark gray marks indicate a group of partly rendered figures. At upper center-left, a group of diagonal stripes in the shape of a necktie, hovers in space, below dots and lines that imply a head. Slightly lower, at center-right, a thin outline partly describes a figure’s head, mouth and shoulder. Two smaller figures are indicated by quick lines in white space at lower center and lower left. Blocks and lines in bright orange appear at upper right and at left.
