A vertically oriented platinum print features layered, high-contrast imagery. Center bottom, a shirtless person with light skin tone faces us with their mouth open, wearing a beaded necklace. An ornate, carved flourish overlays their head. In the upper half, a human-shaped figure holds a decorative clock against a landscape with a stone castle to our left and clouds to our right. The composition merges human and architectural forms into a surreal scene.
