The large room is carpeted with ribbed carpet. However, one surface rises steeply upwards from the carpeted area. The open floor flap, held in place by two supports, provides a view of the interior. The folded picture surface shows various signs that collage together to create a meta-text.

An intricate tangle is scrutinised, while only the inquiring eye sees itself in the lens surface.
