Two wild dogs climb on top of each other as they try to escape the rising blue-green water of the sea. This is a reference to the legend of Cantre'r Gwaelod, a kingdom flooded by the waters of Cardigan Bay. The artist has captured the untamed spirit of the animals, which seem to be helping and not fighting each other.
