Visual DescriptionA black and white composite photograph of a massive dark boulder resting on a rocky expanse. A tiny silhouetted figure stands beside it. A deep, jagged crevice dominates the foreground, under a sky filled with textured, puffy clouds.

A massive, swirling, pale-grey and brown gnarled tree-like formation dominates a landscape beneath a dark red sky. Tiny human figures are visible within the structure's dark, hollow crevices. Small green plants sprout at the base near low distant hills.
