Object Description

A surreal figurative work executed in black depicts two figures in the foreground, on their hands and knees as they drink water from what appears to be the sea; just above the two figures, a horizon line dividing water and sky - or is it a line of demarcation dividing water and earth? - the kite high in the air, the figure appearing to fly along with the kite; three other figures are seen in the upper ground, possibly on the beach watching the kite flyer.
