A large mirrored ball stands on the floor, framed by a cube of neon tubes. The ball seems to be caught in a cage, prevented from rolling naturally. At the same time, it appears as if the neon cube wants to move with the ball. The location is reflected in a convex perspective on the smooth surface of the ball. The neon cube is slightly curved in the reflection, and appears as a misshapen neon ring on the sides of the ball.
