Created as an ode to Shelley's elegy for Keats, this piece is a quiet meditation on existence captured in an otherworldly transition between night and day.

A young man is carrying his own desolation, symbolically pictured as an open heart-shaped lead box. Reminiscent of the practice of heart burial, its presence also subtly hints at the fact that Shelley's heart was kept by his wife Mary in a leaflet of his poem Adonais.

Embodying the spirit of the Romantic literary tradition, the composition emphasises the oneness of men and land where earthly remains rest covered in lichen, rivers unravel what words can no longer hold, and the spirit— beacon of light—guides us like the stars in our darkest hours.
