Next to the red square is a blue one, which creates a small green square where it overlaps with the yellow rectangle. A pencil-drawn rectangle overlaps all three shapes, where all the colors start to blur together.

Artist points to a drawing of a turtle on a pad of paper while also holding a book with a similar-looking turtle illustration in it.
