A large phallic structure hangs from the ceiling by a chain and feeds through an old wooden school desk, dark brown hair cascades out the bottom and runs along the floor.

A metal structure attached to the wall holds seven green coloured vessels, four on one rung at the top and three on a rung below.

A sculptural installation or rusted metal bars, old rope and charcoal is in the foreground while on the wall behind it sits a series of wooden boxes covered in plant printed material encasing silk worms.
