A four-panel board, not one poster. The first panel is a dense 4×5 contact sheet of street photographs of a figure holding a long white stick in different postures; the second is a mostly white sheet on which thin pink dotted paths and outlined letterforms sprawl across the field with four small photographic thumbnails floating at the right; the last two panels each pair a large sparse line-drawn glyph on white with a single photograph of the figure forming that shape.

Letters are drawn as bare straight-line skeletons derived from limb-and-stick positions, so glyphs are open outlines and connected paths rather than filled type; supporting labels are set very small in a plain sans along the panel edges.

The photo grid and the large line glyphs read first at a distance, the pink paths second, and the tiny annotations only on close inspection.

Photography is documentary and repetitive: the same subject shot against ordinary walls, doors, and shutters, used as evidence for each constructed letterform, and cropped to identical proportions so the grid stays even.

White grounds and black hairlines throughout, with a single fluorescent pink used only for the dotted connective paths, plus incidental colour from the photographs — mainly a recurring bright red shutter.
