The piece features a vintage wooden vanity desk or dresser topper with a large, cracked oval mirror. Perched on the wooden base are two Barbie dolls on stands flanking an old-fashioned telephone receiver. The installation is highly interactive; on the reverse side of the mirror, the phrase "YOU ARE WHOLE" is painted in large red letters. Festival participants frequently use it to take surreal reflection photos or "secret portraits" against the vast, dusty backdrop of the desert.
