A field of predominantly acid yellow is divided by a wide black jagged motif. Two wooden ladder shapes are attached to the canvas and balance each other on either. There is a small chair painted in blue towards the top right-hand side. Several poles in black and blue dissect the canvas and extend beyond its limits. Their shape is echoed on the canvas by black shadows.
