The image shows a large rectangular shape with rough, textured borders. Inside, there is a circular form and some curved lines, resembling a bubble or a transparent orb on a surface. The composition evokes the image of a weathered wooden block with a glassy bubble inside. Below the main shape, there is a straight line and a small scale-like line.
