In this surreal landscape composition, Camelia juxtaposes several elements including a crocodile's face, eyes, and leather shoe. The crocodile's eyes, with its horizontal line, allows it to look at details without moving its head. They can also sleep with one eye open to monitor potential threats and prey. Drawing inspiration from the natural world, Camelia incorporates elements of fantasy in her paintings which are conveyed through flora and fauna. The dreamlike works of Spanish surrealist artist Salvador Dali have influenced her paintings.
