A rectangular portal is framed by a radiant purple glow. Inside, an array of collaborative imagery has been collaged, mostly greyscale. A hearing aid is cradled in the palm of a hand, within a beam of light. This personal listening device is overlaid with an image of a radio astronomy telescope, its receiving dish pointed towards the sky. The receiving dish is supported by structural engineering in the form of a geometric scaffold. Above the dish, an antenna is held aloft. Its listening probe overlaps the central electronics of the hearing aid technology: micro and macro listening. An image of a white mobility cane has been overlaid diagonally across the hand. At its tip, its roller ball has been transformed into a glowing orb, emitting sound waves, signaled by concentric circles pulsing outwards. Another hand reaches into the frame, capturing a mid-expressive gesture. This hand is not grayscale but pale pink porcelain, and is smaller in scale than the hearing aid. On each of the three visible fingers, the nail tips are decorated with a maroon dot. In the top left corner of the image, there is a small window, also rectangular, framing an assemblage of shapes, suggestive of an imaginary glyph or letterform. The smooth, beveled edges of the glyph lend an embossed 3D effect, so that the abstracted glyph appears to protrude from the image plane. The glyph incorporates rounded shapes, spikes that reach outward, like a crown, and a spiral whorl.

Both the background and the golden bars of the marimba are radiated by a beautiful pinkish magenta. Three musicians stand behind an instrument: on the left, a white man with a silver wave of hair and finely shaped goatee; in the middle a white man with dark brown hair, short cut beard and black circular rimmed glasses; and on the left a white long brown haired woman with dangling circular earrings. All three stare transfixed at three fluorescent ping pong balls either descending or ascending, above the instrument below. They each wear clothes for a party or a talent contest: the man on the left sports a confetti golden jacket; the woman on the right a shiny golden sleeveless dress. Together they flank the man wearing a jade regal green formal jacket.
