The artwork features two framed paintings hanging from a central axis, resembling a scale. On the left, a muted scene depicts a pair of feet partially submerged in water, with a piece of clothing draped over a barbed wire. The colors are predominantly grey and blue, conveying a sense of desolation. On the right, a vibrant portrait of a man is enclosed by a red life preserver, contrasting the somber left side. The background is a bright blue, enhancing the emotional disparity. The overall composition is balanced yet evokes strong themes of life, death, and survival. This artwork resonates with the themes and compositions found in Frida Kahlo's self-portraits, particularly her exploration of duality and personal struggle. The use of vivid colors alongside stark imagery in both works creates a powerful emotional impact. Similarly, the balance of life and death can be seen in Alberto Burri's mixed media pieces, where contrasting elements challenge the viewer's perceptions of existence.
