A monochromatic painting depicting a vast array of scattered, block-like forms that resemble rocks or ice chunks, with a dark, smoke-like stream flowing through the center, creating a stark contrast against the lighter gray tones of the fragmented shapes. The scene conveys a sense of coldness and desolation.
