This is a drawing of surreal elements on a beach, including a scythe, a large stone head, and wooden blocks. The scene depicts an environment with surreal elements, showing a desolate beach setting under a cloudy sky. An oversized scythe is stabbed into the ground and a large, stylized disembodied head lies sideways next to it. At the base of the scene sits a series of geometric shapes. The use of light and shadow adds depth to this monochrome composition.
