The background is mostly yellow-orange in the top left corner with a section of yellow-green passing diagonally from the bottom left corner to the top right corner. Angular shapes of blue, violet, red, green, and pink, run diagonally from the bottom right corner to the upper left corner in a geometric composition. Some shapes are outlined in thick solid white or thin green lines to create an illusion of stair steps building up from the bottom left to the upper right.  Two distinct fan shapes, one primarily red and one primarily blue, are positioned in the upper left. Two blocks of light blue fill the bottom right corner with purple, red, green, and pink shapes growing out these blocks to the upper left.
