Image description
The image shows a tall rectangular shape with a vertical arrangement of lines and forms. Within the composition, there are green, leaf-like shapes symmetrically placed on either side of a central axis. Above each set of leaves are circular, red shapes. The design is framed by a subtle wave-like pattern on one side.
