A gnarled, ancient tree dominates the composition, its dark twisted trunk and branches reaching across the canvas against a golden-yellow background. The tree casts dramatic shadows that snake across the foreground in deep blue patterns, mirroring the contorted shape of the branches above. The shadows appear almost alive, writhing across the sun-drenched grass like dark serpents. The foliage is rendered in dappled greens and blues, creating a canopy that filters light onto the scene below. The interplay between the tortured forms of both tree and shadow creates a sense of movement and tension that resonates with the artwork's title, suggesting these natural elements as modern-day titans locked in an eternal struggle.
