SCENE 1 | Big Bird comes across Hiroshi making a painting of assorted squares. He feels it's too square and fetches some ping-pong balls from his studio to incorporate into the piece, but can't decide how many. Big Bird suggests every number until he reaches 14, which finally gives Hiroshi inspiration. He assembles 14 ping-pong balls in the form of the number. He names the piece "The First Fourteen," as he intends to make many more similar works afterwards. | |
