Still life of a brass analog clock, glass vase of lucky bamboo propagations, and a pair of wooden earrings with tiny houses painted on. The earrings have been placed on a mountain rock.

Surrounding the still life are small illustrations including the number 12, tomato, dandelion, house with tree, Palestinian flag, bird whistle, star, lotus, branches against blue sky, sunrise clouds
