Part Three of the five-part instruction set includes these images documenting the beeswax casting process. Found audio cassette tapes were fit inside original watercolor origami boxes that were then sealed inside inches of beeswax. To prove that the tapes hidden inside would not be damaged by the casting method, several were made and broken open revealing the cargo unharmed inside.

Part Five of the five-part instruction set includes these images documenting the hiding of a beeswax sculpture in public in NYC and a zine that has been printed and hand-colored that tells of a game and clues to find it.
Game includes one custom-painted brainwave entrainment controller device, two custom-painted LED light goggles, seven found AirPods, two custom-painted baby shushers, one custom-painted carrying case with mystery contents, one custom-painted game board, one Herkimer Diamond programmed during a ritual performed atop the Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan, Mexico, two custom painted found bottles with mystery contents, and one crystal ball. BE devices use LEDs housed in goggles that flash at particular frequencies such as Delta, Gamma, and Theta that are associated with particular mental states like focus, cognitive processing, physical and mental relaxation, creativity, insight, dream, and meditative states including loss of bodily awareness. Choose a state and program your mind to it in a few minutes. Within the game, the handful of found AirPods are called HandJobs because they are used during processes of divination where they’re collected into one hand and cast onto the playing board to be read.
The so-called game emerged during the onset of the global pandemic. Because of precautions in place at the time, this work has only ever been experienced remotely and was featured in dozens of online situations where it could be observed. This means that several things were never revealed about aspects of the sculpture. For instance that the small bottle had been fitted with a motor that made it vibrate and move around on smooth surfaces. In part of the game, players use dozens of found AirPods which are cast onto the orange playing surface and the bottle was turned on set in the center to wind a path through them that would read in private acts of scrying.
