The painting presents a stark contrast, divided by a horizon line that bisects the canvas, creating a surreal landscape. Above, a dual sky unfolds—one half a serene blue, the other a brooding night. A golden sun and a pale moon hang suspended, symbolic of day and night, hope and despair. In the foreground, a figure, resembling Frida Kahlo herself, sits upright, a vibrant presence amidst the desolation. She is clad in a brilliant red dress, the color a bold statement against the muted earth tones. Beside her, a figure covered in white cloth rests on a gurney, wounds marring their form. The ground is a patchwork of colors, adding to the dreamlike quality. A small banner, held by the figure, bears an inscription that offers a message of hope and resilience.
