The window frame divides the yellow mesh into a cross. A dark strip of lace is looped across the top like a swag, and a pale lace panel with faint figures of angels hangs below. Thin dry vines run down the front of the cloth. The light behind the window makes the plastic glow red-orange where it is thin and creamy where it is creased, while the wall around it stays almost colorless. The materials were hung up as ordinary window covering, and now they are the brightest thing in the room.
