Two vibrant watermelon slice shapes, crafted from various materials, are displayed. The slices feature a green rind made from painted paper plates, and the pink interior section is comprised of overlapping tissue paper squares in shades of pink, creating a mosaic-like pattern. Small black tissue paper circles represent the watermelon seeds, adding a realistic touch. The art pieces appear to be designed as suncatchers, intended to be hung in windows to allow light to filter through the translucent tissue paper, creating a cheerful and summery effect.
