Description: A wooden box painted glossy white contains a formation of two wooden, painted white, trapezoidal tennis racket presses. Each tennis racket press’ longest side is attached to one of the longer sides of the rectangular box. The presses do not touch the back of the box, creating an impression of floating. White string is threaded through the hole in each of the corners of the tennis racket presses. This string extends across each individual press, as well as between the two presses, creating a design of taut diagonal lines. Two segments of the string are painted red and two are painted black.
