A mixed media mobile of a hand form silhouette cut out of Plexiglas, hanging from a metal ball chain, dangling between a cubical black metal folding screen frame with sheets of variously structure semi-transparent material on each of the four sides. The whole piece is suspended from the ceiling and allowed to rotate, creating interplay of shadows, reflections, and images with variable degrees of definition.
