Sculpture of a melting, peeled-back white automobile with amber interior, flanked by a featureless humanoid figure holding a metal pole, against a black background
Mixed-media sculpture of a yellow automobile draped in a white, organically shaped covering, with two small pale figurines seated atop it; ropes extend from the edges to the ground, and one figure holds a thin pole topped with a sphere, against a black background.
