The artwork presents a surreal scenario that plays with the idea of time and space. At the centre is a chessboard that undulates like melted butter over the edges of an unrecognisable base. The black and white squares of the chessboard merge seamlessly into this soft mass, as if they are subject to the will of an unknown, melting force. Beyond the chessboard, a vast, arid desert landscape opens up, criss-crossed by imposing rock formations set against a sky-blue background and under a mild sun. A massive, melting clock looms on the right-hand edge of the picture, representing time in physical form, which seems to be disappearing just like the chessboard itself. The scene is imbued with an atmosphere of infinity and quiet majesty that encourages reflection on the transience and meaning of time.
