A tentative audience sitting on the floor blur into the shadows behind two vibrant bold figures, illuminated in purple light. One person is suspended in air by rope bondage knot, with neon red, pink and green rope, hands crossed behind their back. The other, with their back to the camera is gently holding the first person's head and pressing their own to it, creating a warm sense of connection and safety. In the purple background various mundane objects are spun in neon macramé creating unique patterns.
