At the center is an organically layered structure with a bright core, surrounded by wavy bands in green and brown. To the left, a vertical, luminous yellow wavy stripe runs. In the upper right is a white, mountain-like shape with colorful stripes. In the lower right, a cluster of small, yellow, stalk-like formations appears next to a red, irregular shape.
