A solitary building sits at the center of the island, surrounded by cypress trees and small human-like figures. Above, a monumental cloud hovers, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that enhances the sense of isolation and contemplation. The meticulous attention to detail in the landscape contrasts with the ethereal use of gold leaf, highlighting the interplay between precious materials and discarded elements. The back of the piece features a humorous and reflective inscription, "10K Steps Per Day Around the Unconscious Shapes of My Sister," adding depth and irony to the narrative. This painting masterfully balances abstraction with figurative elements, inviting viewers to explore subconscious landscapes and personal connections through a surreal and symbolic lens.
