A bright, blurry collection of objects is located in the center of the image, lying against a black background. They resemble watercolor-like smudges or a vibrant, unfocused ink blot. In the very center is a white object. To its upper left is a green area, and above that is a yellow area. Below and to the right of the central white object is a blue area. Below the blue section is a long, narrow, diagonal red area. In the top left corner, a small red blotch is cut off by the image’s frame.
