Executed in the x-ray style, thick black outlines organize the figure into distinct panels that give order and precision to the design. Deep blue dominates the body, while lighter blue highlights the wings and torso, and red accents punctuate the form with warmth. The spiral motif within the body adds a sense of pulse and movement, enhancing the rhythm established by colour and line.
