This is a drawing of assembly and disassembly instructions for a structure titled "Ghost Dance". The image contains hand-drawn diagrams and annotations on a grid paper background outlining the assembly instructions for a construction project referred to as a "Ghost Dance". Two main diagrams, labeled as "concave side" and "convex side," feature structural elements represented by numbered positions. Various notes and arrows delineate the sequence and process, emphasizing important steps such as "REMOVE LOOSEN & TIGHTEN SCREWS" or "DO NOT REMOVE". The use of mixed media, including sketching, handwriting, and colored highlights, presents the technical and artistic elements of the instruction layout.
