In a hypothetical exhibition of Surrealist art, a viewer walks around the room and observes ten seemingly unrelated paintings, each depicting a setting. The connection is that each painting has a different colour at its core, not always prominently featured, but representative of that setting. This work is a musical depiction of that exhibition.
