I agree with you pzatchok.
This may be a stretch, but the gas cloud that’s the dominant feature may have been formed by the small remnant of the galaxy on the upper left of the picture (it appears close to the galaxy because it’s also in focus)
If it passed through? creating the gas cloud at an angle as it appears now, on the other side of the galaxy, millions of years ago before the galaxy rotated away from the intruder?
This might be evidence that irregular galaxies also have some rotation.

And I think I can see arms starting to form inside the disk.

Its a beautiful galaxy though.
