The artwork features a broken jade snake statue. The snake, carved from vibrant green jade, is depicted as shattered, with deep cracks running along its sinuous body. The statue is divided visually by contrasting tones: the left side of the snake retains a polished, vibrant green, while the right side is dulled and fractured, resembling dark, weathered jade. The cracks are sharp and irregular, with fragments of the snake scattered as if mid-explosion, evoking a sense of destruction and chaos. The head of the snake, split down the middle, has one eye intact and gleaming, while the other is fractured and dim. Its open mouth reveals broken fangs, adding to the sense of loss and decay. The background transitions from a dark, shadowy gray at the edges to a lighter gray toward the center, giving depth and focus to the broken statue. Below, the shattered pieces and cracks are mirrored on a smooth, reflective surface, emphasizing the destruction with a haunting symmetry. The textures of the jade are intricately detailed, from the polished sheen of the intact portions to the rough, jagged edges of the broken sections. The overall style is realistic, with an emphasis on the contrast between the smooth, undamaged jade and the chaotic fragmentation, creating a powerful and evocative image of destruction and fragility.
