The image displays a vertically oriented, multi-layered mixed-media collage artwork, mounted on a plain, light-colored background surface. The artwork depicts a fantastical marine scene under a night sky. The upper section features a dark, irregularly shaped background element representing a night sky, marked with several hand-drawn yellow stars. Below this, various pieces of dark paper (black, dark blue, gray) are layered to create a textured, deep backdrop. Dominating the mid-ground and foreground are numerous stylized waves, cut from cardboard and other paper, featuring hand-painted designs in bright blues, yellows, reds, and purples. Many of these waves are adorned with fluffy white material at their crests, simulating sea foam or clouds, giving them a three-dimensional quality. Integrated within this wave environment are three cut-out images of tabby cats. One cat's head is visible, peeking from behind a wave in the upper-middle left. A full-bodied tabby cat with a brown, scaly, fish-like tail (depicting a "cat-mermaid") sits amidst waves in the mid-right. A small tabby kitten lies across a wave in the lower-left quadrant, its front paws extended. Two translucent white butterflies are present: one in the upper-right area of the artwork, and another in the lower-left, near the kitten. A blue and white scallop seashell is positioned at the bottom right of the collage, appearing to rest at the base of the waves. The cats are positioned dynamically within the waves, creating an impression of interaction with the aquatic elements of the scene. The overall composition creates an imaginative and dream-like depiction of cats inhabiting a stylized nocturnal ocean.
