Three structures sit in the space, lit from a singular overhead white LED strip light. On the left sits a trough, fed liquid through the belly button of a torso-like sculpture. In the middle sits a human-sized metal box. A clear tube connects the box to the structure standing on the right, which includes metal rails that hold and pitch the tube upright.

    In a dark room with a black wall and wood floor, there is a spotlight shining on two frog plushies. One sits horizontally in the lap of another who is seated in a director's chair. Two more director's chairs, not illuminated, sit facing the frogs. The spotlight, the chairs, and the frogs all appear miniature-sized.
