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 roughly 8 inches tall and 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 which reflects the red tower downwards. We see the pedestal from a three fourths angle in front of a white wall and on gray concrete floor which are reflected on the sides of the pedestal.
