The composition uses abstract and symbolic imagery layered with expressive marks to convey tension, loss, and consequence. Signed Wendy M Cohen and dated 84 in the lower margin, the work reflects a strong conceptual approach characteristic of socially driven and autobiographical art of the period. The piece is matted and framed, with handwritten notes on the reverse providing contextual background to the story and creation, adding depth and provenance to the artwork.
