Its composition relies heavily on figurative imagery, blending familiar objects in unfamiliar and nonsensical ways to evoke a sense of absurdity. Through incongruous elements and non-sequiturs, the artwork produces a surreal atmosphere that challenges viewers' causal reasoning, aligning with the core concept of surreal humour—deliberate violations of logic that generate an irrational, often humorous, experience.
