This painting is based on Vladimir Nabokov's novel - 'Transparent Things'.The protagonist - Hugh Person - has a recurrent nightmare.The painting tries to depict this.In the novel it reads -

'In...an...ominous nocturnal experience, he would find himself trying to stop or divert a trickle of grain or fine gravel from a rift in the texture of space and being hampered in every conceivable respect by ...collapsing colossuses....finally blocked by masses of rubbish, and THAT was death.'
