I love how it's between abstract and figurative. You used primary colors but broken, and this is an atmosphere I like a lot. I can't help thinking of ground strata and dampness infiltration. Drips going backward suggest a soaked wallpaper in an abandonned house, as if it had been torn to reveal older layers with other patterns.
And among all the water, this blooded-eye fish, ready to sweep down on... thoughts? <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/>
And the first thing the red (burnt sienna?) layer made me think of is Mars canyons, it reinforces the overall surreal feeling.
