Two dolphins appear to be breaking apart or fragmenting, their bodies segmented by horizontal bands that suggest containment or confinement. They swim upward through what seems to be an underwater space filled with rising bubbles and streaks of blue light. Below them, vibrant red roses grow from a rocky seafloor, their stems stretching upward in the same direction as the dolphins' movement. The contrast between the mechanical segmentation of the dolphins and the natural, flowing forms of the roses creates a striking visual tension. The dark background and vertical bands of light give the scene a cage-like quality, reinforcing the "asylum" reference in the title while maintaining an ethereal, underwater atmosphere.
