Lerson utilizes mixed media artistry to layer the rugged textures of a Defender against the sharp, clean lines of an alpine mountain range. The composition uses the portrait orientation to emphasize heights and prominence, making the mountain peaks feel both physically imposing and psychologically distant. By blending pop art sensibilities with a rustic orchestration of elements, the work creates a surrealist landscape where the mechanical and the organic occupy the same dreamlike space.

The title 18:01 suggests a frozen minute in an introspective journey, a pause in the middle of global ventures. There is a palpable sense of abandonment in the scene, as if the technological evolution represented by the vehicle has reached its limit at the foot of these natural entities. It invites an interpretation of the essence of humanity—our drive to explore and conquer, contrasted with the quiet, enduring presence of the cultural geography we move through.
