A black and white photograph of an abstract design.

The black and white photograph shows an abstract design that rises from the center of the bottom edge in a series of seven rounded shapes. The shapes are light colored and rise vertically, the shape on the right is thick and curves in to the left with a rounded lower edge, before rising up to the right. The shapes form a larger mass that is washed with gray areas and crisscrossed with thin dark lines that form a diamond pattern. The mass is dark along the left side and gradually fades to a light gray in the upper right corner.
