High angle over a wide scene of a sealed glass snow globe containing a city skyline rendered in thick, smudged acrylic paint, where the buildings bleed into the snow with visible brushstroke drag marks, sitting on a cluttered wooden shelf. The shelf is covered in various items, including a dried patch of white pigment stuck to the shelf wood and a crack in the glass base refracting the smeared blue paint. A fingerprint smudge is visible on the front of the glass. The composition is divided into clear foreground, middle ground and background layers, with the snow globe in the middle ground and the shelf items in the foreground. The scene is lit by orange firelight from below, which casts long, distorted shadows upwards and illuminates the bottom of the glass. The artwork is an ink and wash drawing on textured paper, where the acrylic paint texture is simulated with heavy, opaque washes of color that pool in the low areas of the paper grain, creating a rough, tactile surface that emphasizes the physicality of the paint.
