intriguing possibilities

A stack of indecipherable objects sits in a gloomy dull gray netherworld. The objects vaguely resemble tree stumps, although at least one of them looks like bolted-together metal. Two of them have neat, machined holes. Drifting from one of the holes is a wispy glowing entity that looks like a tadpole made of white light. The environment is foggy, and the dim outlines of other stacks can be seen in the background. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
