The canvas is steeped in a rich, earthy palette of deep reds, ochre, and blues, creating a sense of both warmth and mystery. Dominating the composition is a large, enigmatic idol, a stoic guardian of a hidden world. It is a powerful symbol of the island's spiritual life; it holds an authority that is felt more than seen. The figures, rendered with simplified forms and bold outlines, possess a sense of tranquility, each lost in their own thoughts and reveries. Their skin tones are a spectrum of greens and yellows.

The figures are arranged in a way that feels both formal and intimate. In the background, a glimpse of a moonlit sky and distant figures hints at a narrative unfolding beyond the confines of the immediate scene. The artist's technique is evident in the rough brushstrokes and flattened perspective, contributing to the work's raw energy. This is a world where the sacred and the everyday intertwine, and where a sense of profound introspection seems to be the most important feeling.
