A black screen that has a vertical video aspect ratio in the center. On this vertical frame, there are two peep hole like vignettes in a diagonal. The top vignette shows a rainy window focusing on an exposed lightbulb hanging in front of a window along with leaves hanging from a plant pot. The second vignette shows another hanging exposed light bulb at night that eminates a red glow to the room.

Description

A single window frame; a portal. As the circular nature of time begins to reveal itself, a new decade begins.
