I feel this piece deeply in my soul, particularly in the morning or at the end of a long day. It's an expression of that, but it also reminded me of the way metal looks when it's maybe no longer at full strength, either through stress or decay. There's definitely an element of flaking rust here, or verdigris maybe on a bronze statue where the wax has begun to wear through.

All that said, I looked at the piece more recently and thought, "This is camouflage." Which wasn't what I was going for at all, but now that I examine them, a certain number of my works could be used as camouflage, either in the real world or in some fantasy realm where backgrounds are a bit different. So if that's what you saw when you first looked at this piece, I don't blame you.
