The artwork features a dark, heavily textured surface with vertical gold streaks and script-like markings at the bottom, suggesting ancient, almost decayed scriptures. The composition is reminiscent of a dark ocean depth with golden elements emerging as if from beneath, symbolizing the emergence of ancient wisdom or prophecy.

The gold appears as fragmented inscriptions or melodies, evoking a sense of timeless knowledge and mystical aura
