Work Description:
A disjointed, abstracted group of figures stands amidst a gloomy grayish setting. The tallest figure's head, shoulders and ribs are clearly visible as they are flat, silhouetted black forms. In front of this figure, two white orbs can be distinguished: one at the figure's chest and the other sits near what might be his proper left hip. Deep crimson hair falls from the form at the figure's chest, and golden yellow strands are seen haloing and trailing from the lower of the two white shapes. The white forms are faceless with no other anthropomorphic features other than the hair-like paint streaks; their bodies merge and disappear amid the largest figure's form.
