10^1291+1 was built around the body of a friend. It consists of a single large number. Hanging around the neck, the number drops down her back. The long chain continues between the legs and connects to the neck from the front. The number begins with 1 and ends with 1. The 0s, connected by silver links, resemble a medieval chain maille armor. This work is part of an ongoing interest in large numbers, their effect on the imagination and relation to physical world.
