This work is a complex composition composed mostly of wire. The wire forms silhouettes of people with their mouths open, as if in mid speech, of varying sizes. Some are large while others are small and shaped one on top of the other. The largest silhouette is to the right of the work and has give other silhouettes embedded within its shape. The wire is copper, silver, black and black with red and black pipe cleaners. Towards the bottom of the work there is a phone jack, a stick, and a cotton seed.
