The image contains swirling lines and organic shapes to create an abstract composition. There is a clock with a pointed pendulum in the center. The scene resembles a chaotic village with winding paths and creatures that blend human and animal characteristics. These include snail-like figures with human heads, a boat with a bird's face, and a fish-shaped structure. Hybrid figures reminiscent of mythical creatures are engaged in leisurely activities.
