Hmm. I think here I just run into my usual personal problem with magical realism and magical realism-adjacent (???) works where I'm just like, wait but what's actually happening?

That said I think the art + story works well to depict the blankness and weirdness and scale of West Texas, and the way a roadtrip across such lands might be a good vehicle (ha) for intimacy. Ultimately this was not my particular cup of tea but I am sure that others would appreciate this more.
