The composition depicts a series of mysterious forms floating in a dark, dreamlike landscape. Although the objects could indicate rocks, plants, internal organs, or menacing creatures, Tanguy deliberately ensures that the forms remain mysterious. The setting may suggest the ocean floor or a lunar landscape; it, like the objects that seem to animate the scene, is left up to the viewer to interpret according to their own imagination.",
