The loosely related figures stand in fan-foot grass as if they had appeared in the gloom of the night. One stretches its hands out towards us as if it wanted to offer something. These are somnambulent figures whose intentions we cannot rightly discern and so they appear somewhat threatening, but also transitory. Dream creatures, of the sort that we may have encountered before in the depths of sleep..
