The wood pieces range in shades of brown: off-white, yellow, orange-brown, redwood, walnut brown and darker ebony. The wall space divided by a thin brass-colored divider and from a distance, the shapes blend into an confetti of colors. A single, light wood folding chair is set diagonally in front of the wall. The chair has an off-white canvas back and seat and is on a hardwood floor of a warm medium-brown hardwood.

Four equally-sized cones are arranged in a horizontal row with alternating overlap. Each cone has a circular base and narrows to a sharp point; they appear to have been made of natural materials. The cones have an unique geodesic appearance in shades of grey, white, light brown, and slate blue. The colors are arranged as if mounds of dirt or soil were scooped over the pile below and falling along the sides. The cones each appear to have uneven chips and cracks along its surface, with the two center cones showing significantly more curved layering.

A standing figure wearing a two-piece black garment completely covering the individual from head to toe. The head is enclosed in a mushroom-shaped hood which extends over, and is attached at the shoulders. The hands and feet are covered with black rounded mitts and foot coverings. Large, light brown round buttons form a vertical line down each arm, horizontally across the collarbone, and down the center of the untucked shirt, and also along the length of each pant leg. There are white, organic, vein-like patterns over the shoulders, on either side along the straight bottom hem of the shirt, and over the lower legs. The figure is shown standing in front of a grey backdrop which extends to the floor.

A transparent, yellow-hued short raincoat has five dark buttons, with only the two center ones snapped shut. The bottom of the raincoat appears without a hem as if it were cut with scissors, and rests on an armless and headless white mannequin with a silver collar. The raincoat's hood, loosely folded onto the mannequin's shoulder, falls to viewer's right side. The raincoat is lightly crinckled, and the material is folded into a cuff at each wrist. Two side pockets can be seen at each side.
