A two-headed serpent held in the arms of human beings, or, Ticket Window
2017

A textured beige tapestry with intricate patterns hangs on a white wall, displayed between two wooden dowels. A pair of disjointed, red-painted arms with outstretched fingers appears to be pulling the tapestry apart at the center, creating a sense of tension. The tapestry's bottom edge is frayed, with strands hanging loosely.
