Installation including black and white painted wallpaper on the left hand side, white painted patterned chairs and tables at the centre, brown 4 foot 5 inch sized slim mirror, with a slightly shorter dancing female figure leaning against it. Towards the back, long, draping black and white curtains hang in front of the 10 foot tall window, and the ends of the curtains drape slightly across the ground in front of it. Right next to this is a four part multicoloured digital drawing palboard wallpaper narrow installation, between the curtains and the entrance. On top of this plaboard hangs a small painting. Lastly, in front of the narrow wallpaper, stands another black chair covered in hand drawn patterns.
