The galaxy exhibits a complex morphology indicative of an ongoing or recent interaction/merger event. Two distinct components are discernible: a larger, somewhat amorphous component with a more circular light profile, and a smaller, elongated component.

The circular component displays a smooth, diffuse light distribution with a slightly reddish-yellow hue, suggesting an older stellar population and lower levels of active star formation, potentially representing a more evolved system, possibly a late-type spiral galaxy or an elliptical.

The elongated component is positioned adjacent to the circular galaxy. Its morphology suggests a highly disturbed disk. The color gradient transitions from bluer tones on the edges to warmer tones in the center of the elongated system, which may indicate an ongoing star formation event that has been triggered by the interaction.

The proximity and disturbed morphology of the two components, coupled with the presence of likely tidal features between them, strongly suggests that these are two galaxies in the process of merging. The overall structure is not fully relaxed, indicating that the merger is not yet complete.
