Image of a stylized female, in black and white whose head is in profile. The figures was rendered in a painterly style. The figure has a skeleton, a contoured outline denoting mass and shape, and finally the outline of a hoop dress. There are two round buns on the figures head. To the right of the figure are 5 fuschia swirls arrange vertically along the right of the composition. There is a smaller figure in the top right of the compositions that intermingles with the top two swirls. Below the central figure is a solid turquoise stylized skeleton of a fish like creature. The background is abstract mix of pale lime green, yellow, white and black marks.
