The scene is rendered in textured layers of color, primarily in shades of rust, orange, and purple, giving the impression of otherworldly, ancient monuments. The intricate details and surreal elements invite viewers to explore the depth and complexity of the imagery, which evokes a sense of curiosity and wonder about the nocturnal visions it represents.
