DescriptionThis image is surreal, psychological and illusive, invoking memory and perception on a subliminal level. A coiled rattlesnake is sitting on the mid section of a white, bright bench in the color photograph. Looking out from the center of the coils there is a creased photograph of the eye portion of a face. A photograph of the legs and buttock of a figure upside down is attached to the back of the bench. A light baseball form is at the right top of the bench. The remainder of the photograph is in shadow.
