The picture shows a digitally created photographic alienation in a surrealistic atmosphere. The focus is on an imposing elephant that is half flesh and half mechanical elements. The rear half of its body shows realistically drawn, wrinkled skin with vivid textures, while the front half consists of shiny metal, gears and hydraulic components. The transitions between flesh and machine are seamless but uncanny, reinforcing the impression of a hybrid being.
The scene is set in a desolate, arid landscape. Vegetation is completely absent, emphasising the emptiness and loneliness of the surroundings. A turquoise sky stretches along the horizon, its intense colour contrasting with the barren landscape. The sky appears almost unnatural, like an alien filter over reality, and reinforces the surreal effect of the scenery.
The elephant walks slowly and deliberately, seemingly without a destination. The loneliness of its existence is emphasised by the vast, deserted surroundings. Shadows and light reinforce the contrast between the organic and mechanical side of the creature, while the turquoise-coloured sky appears like a strange hope in this desolate world.
