A landscape image of a structure floating within the dark water of a canal. The wooden structure is covered in burlap and contains eight sunken compartments that contain water and green plants.

Green plants and trees grow along the wall, behind which an industrial landscape and train tracks are visible.

Pale blue sky peaks through gaps in the fluffy white clouds above.
