ID: a large window pictured from street-view. Text is vinyled across the window pane in Suisse font and a vibrant Brilliant Blue colour. The text reads: With a misaligned equilibrium, their legs drift upwards, hands draw inwards and shoulders drop downwards. They wear sports apparel; a matching set of blue running shorts and a training bib with neon green trim. Backwardly tilting, their exposed limbs contrast against an assemblage of blue textured grid-like surfaces of fibreglass, brick and foam. Their upper spine curves slightly upwards, inches above a solid off-white horizontal line.

ID: a dark grey metal lightbox is mounted on a cream wall with a baby blue horizontal panel. The image in the lightbox depicts Léann, a white person with a dark brown mullet, floating in a reversed orientation.

Backwardly tilting, their exposed limbs contrast against an assemblage of blue textured grid-like surfaces of fibreglass, brick and foam. Their upper spine curves slightly upwards, inches above a solid off-white horizontal line.

ID: an installation image of a bright blue and neon green training bib bag and a reversible training bib thrown on a grey concrete floor. Between the bag and the bib, is a thick deep blue hook-like line which has been vinyled on the floor. The bib is turned in a way that the outside of the bib is bright blue with neon green trim and the inside is neon green with bright blue trim. A blue foam muscle roller lays inside the bib where the shoulders would be. The foam roller is modular in texture with lots of nodules to press into the tiny crevices of muscles.

ID: A person in a gallery space is in the process of putting on a blue training bib with a neon green trim. The neck of the bib is around the crown of their head, obscuring their face. Their hands are raised holding the bib as they pull it down over their head. They are also wearing a grey-and-white, tie-dye T-shirt. In the background, lines of text in brilliant blue vinyl are displayed across a glass window pane. The text reads in reverse as the photograph is taken from the interior of the space.
