Immeasurability: The Ridge

A square dark-blue textile with a circular grid of lighter-blue dots that seem to drift from their locations. Running from the top to bottom in the middle of the circle is a zig-zagging shape in variegated dark and light pink, while a winding solid light-blue line winds across the lower third of the circle horizontally. Other shapes suggest land masses, like on a map.
