Running Away with Myself

More about Running Away with Myself

A high-contrast black and white surrealist image depicts a man walking towards a large, rectangular, almost three-dimensional portal-like object that is floating in the middle of a vast, empty concrete landscape under an overcast sky. The man, seen from behind, is wearing a dark suit and is positioned in the lower right quarter of the image, facing away from the viewer. His stance suggests movement, his left foot slightly lifted as if taking a step forward.

The floating rectangular object emanates a bright light from its interior, which reveals a different scene: an alleyway or narrow street within a city, with buildings rising steeply on either side. Another man, also dressed in a suit, is visibly walking deeper into this illuminated urban scene, his back also to the viewer, following the path of the alley. The perspective within this 'portal' creates a sense of depth and an alternate reality being accessed or observed.

To the left of the large floating rectangle, several smaller, irregularly shaped dark objects are suspended in the air. One of these appears to be a disembodied leg and foot, wearing a dark shoe, while another resembles a dark, elongated, amorphous shape, potentially a garment or another body part.
