A soft airbrushed gradient illustration: the silhouette of a horse's head emerging from and dissolving back into a field of colour, with no outline anywhere. Smooth sprayed transitions from rose pink through teal to pale acid green, edges melting into the background, a faint glow around the form. Fine noise grain over the whole image so the gradients are not perfectly smooth. Dreamlike and quiet.
