This collage is colourful, abstract and symbolises a landscape before. It appears divided into strips depicting both the sky and different layers of a landscape. The top half of the image shows strips in different shades of blue, green and purple, suggesting that this is the sky, with possibly a suggestion of a sunset or sunrise in the central strips where warmer shades of yellow and orange occur.
Below these strips of sky is a section representing a village or town, depicted in strips with structures of houses and buildings of various shapes and sizes. The buildings are depicted in a range of colours, including orange, pink, yellow and various shades of green and brown. The style of the buildings varies, with some resembling houses and others more geometric and abstract. Palm trees and plants can be seen between the buildings, giving a tropical or Mediterranean feel.
The collage uses a variety of patterns and textures, giving the image a handmade look, as if the collage was composed of torn or cut paper. The overall effect is painterly and soothing, with a strong sense of place and rich texture.
