Here we have a page of typed text aligned to the left. The first line reads, 'The rapture sailed in spangled majesty over the bay...' and the last line, 'as it surrenders to time.' The poem itself takes up most of the page with description and artistic prose about the installation 'Surrounded Islands.' At the end of the poem on the right side of the page are two lines: the author and date, reading Cyril Christo, May 1983.

A woman with a megaphone, wearing the Surrounded Island pink shirt on a sunny day with blue sky and treeline in the background. She stands on a pink, tarp-like platform addressing a crowd around her, her left arm pointing to the right. A man behind her, also with megaphone, directs attention with his arm in the air and is walking away from the camera. There is a line of people running behind them along the center of the photograph, standing along rolled up pink tarp, ready for instructions to unroll and situate the material on the ground.

An aerial photograph of the wrapped Pont Neuf. It depicts a crowd of people on top, sitting on the fabric, examining the fabric, talking to each other. The cobblestone road of the bridge remains uncovered, while the facade, sidewalk, lightposts, and inner arches are wrapped taut. The yellow fabric gleams in the evening sun.

At the center, a white female with her face turned to her right side is smiling and caught in a dance-like motion, lifting her layered ankle-length skirt to keep her from stepping on the garment. She is dressed in a sleevless grey and white dress, partly layered (from the waist down) with a dark grey fabric. Accessories include an oven mit on her right hand and atop her head is semi-dried grassland flora. In a dimly lit setting, the white woman is surrounded by tall dried grass, 2 conga drummers behind her, 2 african-americans sitting on the floor beside her, and another black individual happily observing, all of which are dressed in clothing that compliments the main subject.
