This looks like three strips of paper taped together. The middle strip has a big, faded blue square with some faint marks inside. The top strip has a thin, dark line with a few smudges. The edges are rough and uneven, like old paper. The blue square is the only clear color—everything else is light or gray. The marks inside it look like quick, messy strokes, almost like scribbles. The paper itself is worn, with some tears and creases. This kind of loose, rough style is part of a bigger trend in art called impasto.
