Surreal artwork depicting bald humanoid figures with elongated limbs in various poses, with oversized insects and flowers interspersed, set against a dark, textured background. The central figure holds a circular object close to its face while another figure looks on from below. The piece has a dreamlike, otherworldly quality.
