Dozens of Covid rapid tests are painted bright red and stacked like a Jenga tower. The tests are rectangular, a few inches long and about a quarter inch thick. The tower is arranged mid-game so there are tests missing here and there among the rows of 3. It rests on a pedestal made of mirrors on every side. A close up of the tower shows it reflected downwards on, or seemingly into, the mirror surface.
