A pair of dark gray jeans rest on the ground. They are sitting upright and open as if someone is sitting in them. The legs have been cut off of the pants and yellow chain-links and pointed black zip ties are attached looking like fungus growing off the the clothing.
Silver metal chain link is constructed to make a hoodie.
