A minimalist and abstract drawing featuring geometric and humanoid shapes. Three elongated figures with pointed heads and red crosses on their bodies appear to interact with a central reclining figure on a platform. Splashes of red, possibly representing blood, are prominent on the platform and on the ground. The background is sparse with faint geometric shapes, and the artwork includes some handwritten text and symbols at the bottom.
