Awkward Moment #2 is an elaboration of #1 with a change of sex and scenario. In this work we see a young woman squatting over a street drain in a back alley somewhere in Barcelona. A large macadam covered wooden box holds the drain and the pump mechanism, and the black alley is a duratrans(dry transfer on acetate) photograph illuminated by a light box. The situation is immediately clear due to the position as well as the expression of uncertainty of the woman. The woman, in such a moment of desperation has sought to find a semi-secluded place in which to relieve herself. There is a blinking button in the right forehand corner of the base. When activated, the sculpture immediately releases a stream of yellow liquid simulating the woman urinating. The mouth and eyes begin to move suggesting a feeling of insecurity, and a woman's voice beseeches the viewer with questions such as: "Is anybody coming? Can anybody see?" As her eyes dart from left to right the viewer is immediately put into the role of voyeur and confidant.
