A vertically oriented color lithograph depicts floating people and animals with light skin tones amidst dense, mottled washes of green and blue. In the center, a large gray figure with outstretched arms moves through a cluster of overlapping shapes. To our right, a figure holds a small child below a yellow-robed person seated within an ornate frame. Overhead, a large bird and human-faced fish float in the dreamlike composition.
