Two silver squares, about a square foot of area each, made of a single strip of brushed metal tubing with curved edges. The tubing is meant to fit in your hand. Each edge is secured to the wall with supports of the same material that stick a couple of inches from the wall. Closest to the wall, there are round discs of the same material around each support. One square is attached to the wall just above the other. The lower one has two hot pink silicon additions. The first is a shelf, which connects the bottom edge of the square to the wall. The second addition appears to clip onto the back of the right edge of the square. It has two short edges that stick out perpendicularly from the bar, and the right side has a wider end than the rest of the addition, much like a nail. The background is white tile.

Side view of a sponge on a wand. The sponge is yellow and porous and has a red ribbon handle on top. The sponge connects to a wand that is long and thin. The third of the want closest to the sponge is thinnest and grey. The other two thirds are teal. The middle third has slight bumps. The third furthest from the end bends down and forms a loop big enough for a person’s fingers to fit through. The tip of the wand has a small hole that is even with the loop.
