A sketch of a crumpled piece of paper with the word "UP" prominently drawn in the center. The drawing features soft shading and contour lines, suggesting the texture and folds of the paper. The background is lightly colored, and there are some loose lines and marks around the edges of the paper. The artist's signature and the year '92 are visible in the lower right corner.
