Against a background of green rocks and moss, an image of water in motion is divided horizontally by a red container with a large white label. Three red lines are attached to the container from the right and appear to be holding it in place. Two white tubes extend from inside the container and flow with the water; the tubes appear similar in style and shape to stockings. Water seems to be flowing inside the white shapes, and the bottom tube appears to be filled at its end.
