Vertical painting in watercolour with ink lines, a scene at the metrotram station. In the center-left stands an anthropomorphic raccoon figurine, barepawed wearing dark trousers, light shirt with flowers with long sleeves, and a reddish vest. The raccoon looks to the left, and has a bit of a curly hair fur. To the left of the raccoon is a small plush figurine of a malamute dog. Behind are people sitting on the floor near the platform doors, and on the left is a couple sitting on collapsable chairs in front of a glass elevator shaft. The woman in front, with pink hair, looks at her phone, the man with purple hair looks at her phone as well. Behind them near the platform doors are a couple of dogs by a woman. The station is bright orange, with platforms doors intertwined with a screen displaying an Israeli flag. On the floor near to the raccoon and the dog figurines are accessible markings.
