D’Lisa Fort Window Box Audio Description

D’Lisa’s window box installation depicts a witchy scene. The window box is 8 feet tall, about 5 and a half feet wide, and 2 and a half feet deep. The entire inside box is painted solid cobalt blue.

In the left corner, a tall figure, likely a mannequin, faces the back of the window box. It wears a long dark blue, velvet cape. Near the top center of the back of the cape, which faces the window, D’Lisa has sewed on three moons. The center moon is nearly perfectly circular and is of a textured gold color. Touching both sides of this round moon are two thin crescent moons, made up of a silvery cloth, that face outward. These are sewed onto the cape with thick gold embroidery thread. The cape has a pointy hood. Its rim is lined with shiny light blue sequins. At the bottom of the cape is a layer of satiny cobalt blue fabric.

Just to the right of the caped mannequin is a short table covered in a dark purple tablecloth. The table is almost entirely covered in fantastic objects, like tall beeswax candles, small various sized and shaped crystals and stones, a bronze femme statue - which D’Lisa says is the goddess of Love, a brightly beaded and clothed statue - also a goddess -, a wooden mannequin hand doing the ASL “I love you” sign with an evil eye draped over its thumb. Bright, hand-made tarot cards are splayed out at the front of the table, propped up by crystals. Most feature a person, like a pointy hatted witch or a jester, and natural elements like stars, lightning, and rainbows.

Another, slightly shorter table is positioned next to this one, filling the bottom right corner of the box. It is covered in a lilac purple cloth and more magical objects. A large, empty silver singing bowl is in the center. Around it are ornate silver spoons, more beeswax candles, D’Lisa’s own ceramic cups and bowls with painted suns and creatures, geodes, a small container of Witches Flying Ointment, and a bottle of herbs labeled for Safe Travel.

Small clear orbs dangle from string, attached around the ceiling of the box. A special crystal surrounded by two rings of metal hangs above the caped figure.

More rocks, stones, and gems are scattered around the base of the mannequin and tables.

On the back wall of the box, near the right wall, is a self portrait of D’Lisa. She depicts herself with long tan colored hair, aquamarine eyes, a pink lipped smile, aquamarine finger nails, and a light blue single shouldered dress. She is the focus of the portrait, and emits a graceful powerful presence with arms stretched outward. She is in front of a dark blue background, with a vine wrapped tree to the left with a green fairy at its base and a copper mountain to her right. At the base of the mountain are small dragonflies, mushrooms, butterflies, and flowers. A circular yellow sun sits in the top left corner.
