Dense Caption

The image is a square-shaped static graphic composed of multiple horizontal and vertical black rectangles positioned against a light gray to white gradient background. The entire composition is bordered by thick solid black lines forming an outer frame. There are seven distinct black rectangular shapes: one long rectangle near the top, two medium-length rectangles in the second row (one larger on the left, one smaller on the right), two medium-length rectangles in the third row (one shorter on the left, one longer on the right), a small square and a long rectangle in the fourth row, a single long rectangle in the fifth row, and three short rectangles in the bottom row. The background transitions from light gray at the edges to white near the top center. All black shapes are solid fills with no visible texture or outline.
