    A kinetic sculpture consisting of small shack with a roof and three walls. The front of the shack is open but covered by a wire mesh that includes a sequential neon image. The sequence begins on the left with a rising blue moon, seen at its various stages until it reaches it full stage at the top, where it turns white. The image then flashes off and continues on to a red skeleton in an upright blue coffin with radiating multicolored lightning bolts. While the lightning is flashing, the inscription at the bottom flashes.
