Seen through the glass of a display case, the shelf edge and price tags at the bottom, two adults stand in a kitchen after a small accident. The woman wipes up a spilled glass of red wine on the counter while the man laughs as he holds a cloth to dry the floor, a broken wine glass and scattered corks lie around the base of the cabinet. A dark stain spreads on the wooden floor, a corkscrew is stuck into a cork nearby, and a half-empty bottle of wine leans against the fridge. The shot uses a disposable film camera at arm's length, with slightly soft corners, under high-key light that is bright white everywhere with only the softest shadows. A blurred object close to the lens sits in the foreground, keeping the main figure sharp in the middle distance. The woman is a 58-year-old of Caribbean descent with light olive skin, a slender build, of average height, a heart-shaped face with a pointed chin, hazel eyes, bushy eyebrows, deep crow's feet, a smooth shaved head with silver-grey hair where the scalp is smooth and catching the light, and one eyebrow raised high in disbelief with the mouth twisted. She wears an old band T-shirt and pyjama bottoms. The man is a 41-year-old of Middle Eastern descent with medium olive-brown skin, a plus-size body, very tall stature, an oval face, dark brown eyes, sharply angled eyebrows, thick coarse straight hair, long mid-back hair dyed pastel pink and tied in a low ponytail, a full thick beard, aviator sunglasses, and a gasping expression in surprise with the eyebrows shot up and the mouth wide open. He wears a house sweater and a flour-dusted kitchen apron. Shot on a disposable film camera, the image exhibits a high-key exposure, low contrast, visible film grain, and a slight vignette around the edges.
