This mural is painted using rich blue, red, yellow and purple colors. The forms depicted are swirls, circles, dots, and lightning bolts and their arrangement and colors are suggestive of a sky or seascape. In the upper portion of the work are rounded purple cloud-like forms that appear to move and rumble across the composition. Bright yellow and white zig-zag lightning bolts emerge from the purple forms. Beneath this at the center left is a small area of deep red with several orange dots. The remaining area is filled with rounded, rolling forms painted in various shades of blue recalling waves. All of the forms are outlined in black, with black lines also used to reinforce the major shapes of the composition. In the lower right corner in white is the date and the artist's signature which reads "23 / WZRD."
