Two rust orange corresponding forms, one perforated and the other protruding, sit off kilter on a blue canyon like base. Its precarious posture alludes to the moment before sneezing, when the nasal passageway is triggered by foreign particles. Slightly ajar, the upward motion of the warped form suggests a swift drawing of air before an explosive expulsion through the nose and mouth.
