The Op art work is a grid of diagonal squares arranged to form a bright green central cross, whose colours fade and darken to black in successive rows away from it, overlaid with a pattern of uniformly dark blue roundels. Clipping of the shapes suggests overlapping layers, whose inferred edges interrupt the symmetry of the shapes with an elusive pattern.^[2]
