Image of artwork: A bedroom scene, with an unmade bed near the corner of the room. The room is decrepit, with moss and ferns and plants growing all around and water dripping from the ceiling and a tree growing on the right side, exposing the expanse of outside. On each wall above the bed is a framed object — on the right is a mirror and the left an abstract artwork featuring a red-orange snake. In the foreground is a partial figure laying on the ground with their face turned away from the viewer and their arm draped over their eyes. The figure's skin is peeling off so their muscles are exposed.
