Summary:
A group of full-length figures are arranged end-to-end to resemble the trunk and branches of a tree. A woman wearing a red dress stands as the trunk with two figures emerging from under her skirt, one upside-down. Several figures connect to her head and shoulders, and then connect to each other, suspended in the air in various directions.
