Fifth in a sequence of eight photographs titled "The Magic Box". View of a large box in the corner of a living room. The box sits in front of a mirror resting on the ground below a lit table lamp, as the last flap on the top of the box is closed from the inside. A cat sitting on the floor beside the box looks up to watch the young girl who has just disappeared inside.
