Work Description: 
A grossly distorted human figure is shown surrounded by dark blue, brown and cream. The figure's tiny head is a dark-green color, while the rest of his body is a massive mass modeled with cream and ochre. His arms are elongated bony forms which jut from his body at odd angles. An isolated slash of crimson is seen where the figure's naval might be.
