It is a sculpture made of 5 hinged panels of old-fashioned school
letterboards attached at the sides and hinged in accordion style, each on a metal sign stand. Each letterboard has a word or two placed on it that comprise a phrase when you read them all together. Depending on where you stand in relation to the accordion-folded panels, you can either see:
1) all 5 panels, which say SOMETIMES I / FORGET TO / REMEMBER TO / FEAR / HOPE
2) If you stand so the work is foreshortened, you see just the 1st, 3rd and 5th panels which read SOMETIMES I / REMEMBER TO / HOPE
3) if you stand so the work is foreshortened the other way, you see just the 2nd and 4th panels, which read FORGET TO / FEAR
