A black and white abstract composition featuring a large black circle connected to a thin, curved pole with chains, set against a white background with multiple straight lines converging towards the circle, creating a sense of perspective. The bottom right corner has a black, shadowy area that contrasts with the rest of the image's stark minimalism.
