Description

At the center of the composition is a boxy desktop computer and a monitor painted in various shades of blue and green. The monitor's screen is painted light purple with several 4-pointed stars painted white or blue visible in the top half. The bottom of the screen contains a grid with a central vanishing point. To the left of this is a flat black area decorated with several small white 4-pointed stars. A boxy blue mouse appears in the lower left and it is attached to a red wire which loops across the black area. To the right of the composition is a keyboard connected to the computer with a red wire. The keyboard appears to float and is seen at a raking angle. Beneath the keyboards is a flat green surface decorated with one large multi-pointed white star and several small 4-pointed white stars. Signed in the lower right in green "Michael Polakowski" with a smiley face.
