A square grid arrangement of octagonal faucet handles, creating an 11x11 pattern. The handles are in three colors: yellow (predominant), purple (along the edges and in specific patterns), and red (forming a cross or plus sign in the center). Each handle has a spoked wheel design and a central metal bolt. The handles appear to be made of plastic or painted metal and are photographed against a neutral grey background. The arrangement creates a symmetrical, decorative pattern reminiscent of pixel art or a quilt design. by James K-M
