A large widescreen moving image installation showing a person holding up an unfolded blue and red cardboard biscuit box directly in front of their face, set against a blurry background of colourful store shelves. Flanking the main screen on both the left and right sides are panels decorated with geometric patterns and cut-outs in shades of blue, green, yellow, and black, with audio speakers mounted directly onto them.
