A painting of a checkerboard octopus with black and white checkered patterns on its body and tentacles, centered in the frame. The background is a soft pink color, and several objects are scattered around the octopus. To the left of the octopus’s head, there is a geometric, stylized eye figure with a black pupil, a checkered ball, and a crescent moon. Further left, there are two geometric, faceted shapes resembling folded paper. On the right side, above one of the octopus’s tentacles, there are more geometric, faceted shapes. A small, checkered chessboard with black and white chess pieces (a black queen, a black pawn, and a white rook) rests on a raised platform to the right of the octopus. Below the chessboard, one of the octopus’s tentacles drips black liquid onto a black pawn. At the bottom left, an hourglass with black sand rests on a checkered, geometric ground. Numerous small, abstract, geometric shapes and pyramids are interspersed throughout the scene, creating a surreal and Escher-like quality. The octopus’s tentacles curl and extend across the foreground, with some sections showing circular suckers. The overall color palette is dominated by black, white, and various shades of gray, contrasted by the pink background
