Four friends stand in a semi-circle blowing bubbles; I took this image from a magazine. I framed the image with stage curtains and elongated their noses to represent possible deception and trickery. The “THIS SIDE UP” sign, taken from a carton box, conveys that what is inside the box is still yet unknown. There is a sense of suspense and anticipation akin to the moment before the curtains are drawn open to reveal what is on stage.
