The artwork presents a surreal and dreamlike landscape, characterized by disjointed and fantastical elements.

Nearby, a figure resembling a human but blending with abstract forms is discernible, adding to the mysterious ambiance. In the middle of the scene, a vessel appears to be navigating an undefined terrain, with both human figures and strange creatures aboard.
