  • A jumble of jumping images. A creation or collection of Bak-ian baggage. Fragments of finely defined objects:

    Two birds
    Two sets of legs
    A figure
    A ladder
    Two chairs
    Floating floor boards
    Stripes of the Prisoner's garment
    Colors of a Fragments of the rainbow

    All suspended by ropes. Who or what it manipulating these objects?
    All are real and yet is this image a reality of our broken world.
    Are we all broken?
