This seems to be a collage of fragmented shapes forming an abstract composition. In the center is a blend of facial features, with mismatched eyes, lips, and thee different sections of hair, giving the impression of a woman's face. Surrounding this are elements suggesting a photography studio, such as spotlights and an umbrella near the top left corner. Around the central face are abstract shapes in pale blue and pale peach. The background is white, with some black rectangular shapes on the left and right sides and behind the umbrella at the top.
