This piece features parallel white surfaces heavily marked with bold black streaks, set against a brown background. The composition presents a stark contrast between the light and dark elements, with the black streaks creating a sense of movement and intensity across the white areas. The repetitive parallel forms evoke a rhythmic quality, while the raw, almost aggressive application of black paint gives the piece a visceral energy. The earthy brown background provides a muted backdrop, allowing the dynamic tension between the black and white elements to dominate the viewer's attention.
