A drawing of a man dressed in black embracing a woman wearing a large white, gauze skirt with pink tights and shoes. Plywood numbers on a black background in a sum: three minus one equals two. In the background, a woman’s legs from the knee down are dancing on a blue floor, a large golden ball is in the foreground. One of the woman’s feet is on top of the ball. An upturned organ casting a shadow, the shadow is a video projection depicting numbers and monetary symbols. There are two ten-pound notes on the floor next to it.
