This artwork presents a dreamlike and unsettling scene in which an oversized dog appears to float in the sky—suspended or ascending. Its anatomy is rendered with exaggerated realism, showing pronounced muscles and an unnatural posture that enhances the surreal quality of the image. Some contours, especially in the face and limbs, are outlined in pink and blue construction lines, as if the creative process remains visible and unfinished.
In the background, a desolate coastal landscape unfolds, with a calm sea and a turbulent sky streaked with dark clouds and dynamic brushstrokes. On the ground, dry branches and abstract shapes suggest a barren or abandoned environment.
The combination of the natural and the fantastical, the anatomical and the sketched, creates an atmosphere of tension and ambiguity. The work seems to reflect on the body, transformation, and the fragility of the physical world, evoking an apocalyptic or visionary narrative.
