This painting depicts a human figure and two cats huddled around one another, with a large, slinking cat forming the titular arch. The cat's paws are pressed deep into a comforter along the right side of the canvas, forming a point of visual tension in the painting. Though the two cats initially appear menacing, their posture indicates one of comfort and protection.

The human figure, upright and diminutive in size compared to the arching cat, is illuminated by an object in her hands. This figure's face glows blue, accented with a rosy blush. Loose papers are strewn across the ground, appearing to be blank. One is floating in the upper left corner indicating a gust of wind or the aftermath of a commotion. Throughout the space of the composition radiates a turquoise light with no origin.

Hoza’s paintings tend to live between two states, such as sleep and consciousness or humor and horror. The artist's compositions suggest a disquiet or looming event underneath the stillness of a reclining figure. Visible traces of the artist's process in the completed painting adds to this unsettling quality. Ghosts from previous layers creep forward, charging the work with a turbulent effect and playful physicality. These works employ muted grays and explosive primary colors, along with a fragmented spatial quality, that draws from the work of artists such as Edwin Dickinson and the moonlit figures of Edvard Munch. Steadily reworking each painting over time, Hoza’s painted world becomes one of shifting planes and constant realignment. Each image works to express the possibility of meaning through the dissolution of figures within a painted space.
