The Waking Hour

The Waking Hour
A predominately green, yellow, and blue saturated Ancient Greek-style image of a girl lying down smiling and another girl standing above her, naked, looking down at her. Next to them is a column. The leaves of a tree are visible directly behind the column. In the background is a large mountain, separated by the sea. "Dalis Car", with "The Waking Hour" below it in smaller text, are imprinted in fantasy-style purple text in the upper-right corner.
