The painting portrays a fragmented surface resembling aged decorative tile. The tiles are cream-colored with red, blue, and green geometric and floral motifs, evoking traditional ornamental designs. However, they are cracked, broken, and incomplete, with dark black gaps peeking through, giving a sense of decay and loss. At the center, a golden ceiling fan appears in silhouette, hanging suspended yet curiously detached from the surrounding fractured tilework, lending the scene an uncanny, surreal quality. Two birds occupy this fragmented setting: a small dark bird perched delicately on the rim of a broken tile in the upper right, and a grey pigeon resting on a jutting white tile near the lower left. Their quiet stillness contrasts with the disarray around them, introducing a note of calm resilience. In the background, soft blue, cloud-like forms drift across the surface, their hazy, smoky edges infusing the composition with a dreamlike atmosphere.

These add an atmospheric, dreamlike quality to the artwork.

The overall mood is one of melancholy and surrealism. The fractured beauty of the tiles suggests themes of decay, the fragility of traditions, and the passage of time. The dark void behind them intensifies the sense of emptiness, while the birds and clouds introduce a quiet, contemplative tone. The painting thus balances elegance with a haunting reminder of impermanence.
