Author's Note: Black and white and straight lines and curves are the first things that came to mind when I read the theme for the contest.
The orbs are white globe lights with black electrical tape providing the "stripes" and they are sitting on a piece of black cloth. The background is just a piece of white paper and, again, I used electrical tape to create the square motif on it.
The curves have been inverted to achieve this "negative" effect.
