About this work
A bearded man in a loose white shirt stands behind a wooden crate topped with a plain gray cube, gripping the trunks of two round-clipped topiary trees whose roots dangle bare beneath them. Below him strides a clawed, bird-headed creature with an armored, mechanical-looking body, carrying a long-handled spade strapped across its back.
Set against a flat, sun-bleached ochre backdrop and a dark, puddle-marked ground, the scene is painted in smooth, muted earth tones with sparse detail. The invented creature and odd scale give the image a dreamlike, riddle-like quality, its dusty light adding to the strangeness.
