Pell often used her imagination and personal commentary to express herself in her art, leaving room for interpretation and inciting a sense of mythological excitement to make everyday life go beyond its borders. In this work, Pell channels the sky beyond the limit and connects with surrealist themes in a Rene Magritte fashion with themes of liminality.

"Some of us build our own mythology out of our environment, desires, and furious defiance at our genetic mediocrity. I hope my work can ignite or describe the excitement of our pointless and forgettable lives and reaffirm the value of our gorgeous desperation,” says the artist. Pell plays with the tenets of Neo-Surrealism, a revival of the Surrealism literary and artistic genre, and seeks to emulate the unconscious mind's complex and often irrational visions.
