This is an acrylic and mixed media painting on canvas that depicts a surrealist landscape. The background has a mottled and swirled texture that is painted in tones of gray, brown, and blue with glitter incorporated into the surface. A group of three trees with bare branches appears at bottom center. Nine figures stand in a circle around the largest tree wearing white suits with hoods while holding their arms above their heads. Other objects painted on the canvas include a multi-color geodesic dome, gray geometric rock formations, several buildings, and various trees.
