The composition is tied together through the repetition of the round shape of the workers white helmets and the placement of the figures in a semi-circular pattern. The men and their surroundings are rendered in a painterly fashion with details obscured, which gives a sense of the stifling conditions of their environment.

Title A name given to the resource Title not known (Abbu 6) Subject The topic of the resource Abstraction with overlapping starburst patterns Description An account of the resource The composition of this painting by Faraj Abbu resembles an abstracted coy pond if viewed from above. The blues and greens give a sense of the natural setting. While the plant-like starbursts create the underwater environment with their undulating extensions. The three fish-like pod shapes float effortlessly amongst the abstracted flora with their diamond-patterned filler resembling scaly skin. The central starburst adds a splash of color, which serves to emphasize, through contrast, the placidity of that which surrounds it.

The muted color scheme and fluidity of line contribute to the peaceful nature of the composition. The presence of human participants is hinted at by the inclusion of house-like structures sitting atop the river embankment.
