Artwork note

The wide horizontal panel carries a dark green, violet, and blue-grey field around a central band of pale blue, white, pink, and yellow. Fine marks gather most densely across the middle, while larger, more open shapes remain at the top and sides. The format extends the change in density laterally rather than centring it inside a square.
