This image features a large conical shape resembling a vintage gramophone horn on the left side of the composition. The horn's mouth ejects crumpled white paper, which covers a wooden table and extends onto the floor. To the right, a person sits on a chair partially obscured by the paper, with only their profile visible. The setting combines elements of wood and paper in a surreal and theatrical manner.
