Video still showing a smiling woman gesturing to two artworks in a gallery space. On the floor is a short pedestal displaying an installation artwork of shiny red tin cans standing upright and intermittently stacked atop one another in various arrangements on the ground. Hanging on the wall directly behind is a vinyl painting on canvas with a border of red and white stripes. Colourful shapes, expressive lines, squiggles, and dots fill the canvas, anchored by a stack of three blue ellipses in the centre.
