The image depicts a surreal architectural scene viewed from above. The horizon line intersects with urban buildings, including a tall rectangular structure and smaller constructions. The artwork features precise brushstrokes creating linear forms. The color palette is monochromatic, with shades of black, white, and gray. A road curves steeply upwards with sharply sloped hills. In the distance, architecture emerges from the hillside against a pale sky.
