This complex sculpture is composed of three sections hinged together resembling an alter piece. The two lateral elements contain hand drawn, collaged wooden pieces inserted on the front edges that can be pulled forward with a string. The entire work, front and back, is covered with Seille's unique handwriting and line drawings on paper collaged onto the wooden structure. The wooden base is actually the shipping crate Seille made and used to send the triptych to the Sackner Archive. The interior base is collaged with an original drawing, and the crate is so beautifully crafted that it serves perfectly as a base for the sculpture. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Seilles's two page letter to the Sackners details her trials of readjusting to life in France, her artistic work and concern for her health. She is pleased to hear that the Sackners saw her exhibition in the Janet Fleisher Gallery in Philadelphia. The collaged pages of found scraps of paper include a cutting from the Sackner Archive stationery. The loose sheets and the letter are inserted inside a fold of the final page. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
