A front-facing, 1/2 portrait of a figure is pictured against a starry or cosmic background; the figure is wearing a track suit with striped sleeves and a large gold chain around their neck. The face is obscured by a tribal-looking mask which continues in a 2D futuristic illustration that reaches to the top of the composition. On either side of the figure's head are exhaust pipes and silver metal wings. A profusion of wires falls to the right proper side of the figure's head. An albatross-like engine with symmetrical quadruple exhaust pipes on either side hangs below the mask around the figure's neck.
