This work is monochromatic, all in a yellowy-gold, and mostly very dark. Two areas of bright light are present on either side of the image, seeming to cast a haze over the foreground of the image. Behind that, a thin many-limbed creature of shadow reaches from one end to the other, though it is unclear what it means to accomplish. In a way, both bright lights seem to orient towards that figure; as for why, that's left as an exercise for the viewer.
