Dense Caption

The image displays four distinct but visually identical spiral patterns arranged in a two-by-two grid. Each spiral consists of alternating concentric rings of bright pink and light cyan colors forming a clockwise rotation. Overlaid centrally on each spiral is the text "Patches" rendered in bold black sans-serif font with slight pixelation. The background behind all spirals is solid light cyan. All four spirals are static, showing no visible animation changes across observations.
