A black and white photograph of an abstract form.

The black and white photograph is divided from the upper left corner to the lower right corner by a soft shading of black which widens and form a slightly upraised curl in the center. On the left of the center curl an arched opening outlined in lightly shaded black has a black rectangle placed on a diagonal at its base. Within the arched opening is a lighter center. The image is softly shaded with areas of shadow and light defining the softly rounded areas of the folds on either sides of the center line and arched opening.
