This mixed-media composition centers on a large circular form containing a delicate black pine tree illustration against a cream background. The circle is set against blocks of vibrant orange and yellow, with smaller geometric elements in blue and dotted patterns at the top. The lower portion features a textured, rocky formation in muted grays and browns, complemented by areas of fine stippled detail in black. Within the main circular element, architectural fragments and grid-like patterns create depth and contrast with the organic tree form. The overall composition suggests a contained landscape or environment, fitting for the "cauldron" reference in its title, while the stark contrasts and isolated elements might speak to the theme of extinction.
