Challenge 271: the wax cannon

I went to the new Anish Kapoor exhibition at the Royal Academy last weekend. An interesting mix of art from this leading contemporary sculptor.

One of the more intriguing exhibits was this one, where a cannon fires a ball of red wax through a doorway every twenty minutes. As you can see, the wax sometimes misses, and spatters the surrounding walls and entrance.

The exhibition has only just opened. How will this room look when all the wax has been fired? Feel free to embellish the scene in other ways, if you think you can do a better job than Anish Kapoor.

High res is here.

Bonjour!

Bon, vous êtes tous très forts, cette semaine, et moi, je n'arrive pas à vous suivre!
^^
Alors je poste la mienne quand même... Mais elle est loin d'être aussi bonne que les votres!
Désolée!
Passez une très bonne semaine!
