A projected screen shows a blurred photograph of a group seated on a multicoloured striped mat in a white-walled hall with folding chairs. A bald man in an orange robe sits in the lower right foreground, head bowed, his face in profile. Beside him a woman in a lavender top and white trousers sits cross-legged with hands clasped. Behind them, several people in white clothing and a man in a dark hoodie sit or stand near a white board reading Phoenix. The image is a photo of a projection, so the projected people are depictions and the orange-robed figure's identity is uncertain based on appearance alone.
