Photograph of a concrete floor scattered with paper cups stained with vivid powder colours. Rows of white paper cups in the foreground hold residues of blue, purple, pink, yellow, green and orange pigment. Crumpled red-stained paper and a stack of unused white cups sit at left, with coloured powder dusting the ground. No people are visible; the scene shows leftover colour-making or festival powder supplies after use.
