The image depicts two separate rectangular sections. In the left section, a person is shown from the chest up, facing forward. The person has short hair styled in a topknot and a beard. The facial features are prominent with a centered dot on the forehead, and they are wearing large, round earrings. The clothing consists of a draped garment over one shoulder, resembling a robe. Radiating lines come from the person's head, with dark clouds depicted above them. In the right section of the image, there is a smaller figure viewed from behind, standing in a snowy landscape with long hair and a similar robe, gazing towards a distant horizon under a dark sky. The background shows a stark contrast between the bright snow and the dark sky. The two sections are placed together on a plain, light-colored background.

The image displays a rectangular shape within a larger dark square. Inside the rectangle are faint lines and marks resembling writings, scratches, brush strokes, and erasures. The composition could be seen as a chalkboard with markings or a partially obscured constellation map. Below the rectangle, there are white words on a dark background, resembling handwritten notes.
