A vertically oriented color lithograph features a two-faced figure astride a leaping dark beast amidst a mottled expanse of teal and navy. To the upper left, a spectral animal with a green eye peers inward, near a small green crescent. At the bottom, a glowing yellow orb casts radiating lines through the textured blue atmosphere. The figure reaches out with one arm, gesturing toward the right edge.
