The work depicts an abstracted human figure, arms outstretched above their head, broken chains hanging from each wrist. Both the frontal and posterior planes of the body are painted black, while the sides of the body are painted white. A geometric, linear symbol is inscribed on the figure's chest. A globe is used for the figure’s head. “Never Again!” is painted on the base of the work.
