This is a surreal painting set in an imaginary landscape with a fantastical creature sitting on a rock. A frozen terrain and biomorphic shapes frame the composition. Five discs in the sky reference the five of pentacles in the tarot, a card that is associated with coldness and being in need. The central figure clasps a small object reminiscent of a smartphone. Using mystical symbolism and the visual poetry of a fabricated Otherworld, Florez makes a comment about the digital addiction in the contemporary age, through a dreamlike conjuring of this modern reverie.
