Description

Physical Description:

An abstract, black and white depiction of a figure with dark hair swimming through a solid block along its edge, one foot visible and one arm raised in a swimming stroke. An angled structure extends over the swimmer and undulating lines giving the appearance of water. The angled structure ends at a line of white circles against a dark background with a faint outline of a cityscape.
