Each looks like an abstract mess of features at first glance, but there is a certain sense to their bodies, especially the one on the right.  Its symmetry is obscured by its somewhat confusing angle and position.  It has a broad torso with sensory antennae at the front and the anchors of a pair of limbs at the back.  The limbs have two sets of flexible appendages for manipulation, but seem to be propulsion organs that create thrust with whatever is pumped into them from the segmented tubes connected to the torso.  The being on the left is more confusing, but the butterfly and fish-like shape and appendages suggest it drifts or glides through the air or water.  The giant eye gives the impression of a creature living in a deep, dark marine environment.  The forked manipulator at the top looks like it evolved from the same segmented appendages as the three fins.

Ari Bach's homage to H. R. Giger's homage to Arnold Böcklin's "Isle of the Dead."  See those and other tributes to the piece here, here, and here.  See Ari Bach's other art here and here.
