There are indentations and pinholes that run intermittently along the extreme edges of each canvas. There is wear, scattered minor pigment losses and faint surface scratches throughout all elements due to the artist's choice of found materials and working method. There is splintering and wear throughout the wooden boat and oxidation is to the metal elements is evident.
