Placed on a discoloured and old sheet of taper are two ruled sheets with poems on them. These sheets are also old and discoloured. The one on the left reads, "I Am Going To, Slow You, Down" and the one on the right reads "Wagons: Wagons, Fields. Air, Sky, Joy, Speed."

On a blank wall, hangs a large rectangular painting, with a light shining on it. The floor beneath it is wooden. The painting is metallic and has slashes in the shape of a leaf and the word "Grow" painted on it. On the right top corner is a peeking branch with a couple berries painted on it.

A woman is speaking into a microphone, standing in the centre of a large hall. There is a big crowd standing at a distance, all around her. In front of her, there are two long tables running parallel to each other. On the left there is a man taking a video of the event. Placed ahead of the tables and the man, are two speakers, held up by tripod stands. They are connected to a control box placed between them.

In a large white room, on the wall on the right, six colourful pieces of cloth are hung on the wall. On the left side wall, there are seven paper artworks positioned on the wall. There are two half rectangle shaped large archival tables placed facing away from each other. The tables have various papers and documents placed on them with a generous distance between them.
