The composition features a girl with a fur-covered body and a creature with a dog's head and an anthropomorphic body. The dark atmosphere and visual dichotomy represent the acceptance of primal instincts and fears. The dog's face signifies friendship and loyalty, offering a sense of security in a threatening environment. Large paws symbolize the guiding hand of nature, while the relationship between the human and creature reflects the therapeutic potential of confronting primal fears and the blurred lines between civilization and wilderness.
