A white sculpture rises at the center of the composition, crowned with the head of a crocodile toy that disrupts its solemn character.

In the background, enlarged and fragmented, appears a face that evokes Donald Duck, observing the scene from a disproportionate scale. The painting constructs a tense dialogue between monument and caricature, where the classical image is intervened by the intrusive and omnipresent logic of contemporary visual culture.
