    DescriptionThe canvas plane is dominated by a large, multi-tiered Mesoamerican style temple. Groups of people gather on all the levels. In front of the temple are both groups of people and fallen stone debris. The lower left corner appears to be a fissure in the earth, the lower right corner is ground that has heaved up and is scattered with more debris. The upper right has a forest of palm trees with a small clearing of sky that has a figure floating in the air. The upper left has a second temple nestled in more palm trees.
