A striking profile view dominates the left side of the composition, rendered in bold black and white. Behind and within the profile, the canvas fragments into a geometric puzzle of shapes and colors - reds, blues, yellows, and teals create an abstract landscape suggesting the inner workings of consciousness. A delicate golden curve floats above, while a white star shines against a deep blue-black section in the upper right. The composition is divided by subtle grid lines, creating distinct segments that both separate and unite the various elements. The title "crux of thought" is reflected in how the artwork visualizes the intersection of external appearance and internal contemplation through this dynamic arrangement of forms and colors.
