On the top left, a head with curly hair is visible with eyes showing but the mouth is obscured by a blue wave. The torso consists of brown and tan handshapes. The arms and shoulders are made of black sketches on white shapes of various body parts, leading from ear parts on the shoulder areas to parts of the hand, heart, eyes, mouths, etc where the arms would normally be.
