The composition is structured within an upright elongated rectangle, where rectangles, squares, triangles and various other geometric shapes are distributed in the middle of the length of the canvas and throughout its height, next to or below each other in the form of a "strip". Between them there are four circles of small dimensions, intersected by straight lines, which form angles between them. The shapes are distinguished by the variety of sizes and the colour treatment. In the middle of the length of the strip and along the vertical axis, the figures assume a human form, as the geometric head forming an ellipse, the elongated rectangular neck, the triangular blue-coloured sternum and the right hand rendering a stereometrically rendered irregular geometric form are clearly discernible.
