This abstract black-and-white composition combines industrial forms with surrealist overtones. The rigid, geometric structures—reminiscent of machinery or towering factories—contrast sharply with the swirling, organic background, evoking a dream-like, otherworldly atmosphere. The surrealism lies in the way these industrial elements seem to merge with or emerge from the chaotic, fluid environment, creating a tension between reality and the subconscious. The piece blurs the boundaries between the natural and man-made, inviting viewers to explore themes of transformation, decay, and the surreal interplay of industry and nature. Through its monochromatic palette and intricate textures, the work delivers a powerful surrealist narrative that transcends the everyday and delves into the mysterious.
