    A panel of glass with multiple cracks, each crack reflecting a different image, some clear some blurred. Below are some major and identifiable image and their location in relation to the glass: the central crack, reflects a black haired person with white outfit kneeling with drooped head and purple side light; the top left corner, a back-lit hand reaching towards shadows of branches and leaves; middle left crack, a person with white top, spiralling their body and dancing; the middle right, a person with white top sitting and playing Pipa - a guitar-like traditional Chinese instrument with four strings and a pear-shaped body. The rest of this whole image may be too blur to identify content but consists a dark-toned colourful palette.
