A coin funnel orbit draws a father and son toward a wide yellow bowl. The boy’s hand has just moved away from the rim, leaving one small silver coin rolling along the sloping surface. His father bends beside him to follow the same path. Above them, a dark star canopy carries tiny points of light.

The funnel narrows toward a central opening and rests on a broad black pedestal. Window reflections stretch across its glossy surface, making the curve easy to read. The coin appears small against the bright bowl, with a slight blur suggesting its quick movement. The boy keeps his other hand on the rim as the experiment continues.

A green patterned sweater and rust trousers give the younger figure warm, tactile detail. His father’s glasses, navy cardigan and pale blue shirt remain distinct beside him. Tall brick walls and arched windows open the room beyond the exhibit, where a glowing globe adds another rounded shape. The photograph connects a simple released coin with the pleasure of watching an unexpected path unfold together.
