A collage of black and white photographs featuring various scenes: a person with long hair screaming, another standing with arms by their side and eyes closed, a view down a hallway with a figure in the distance, a reflection of a person in a mirror, and a close-up of a disheveled bed with pillows. The photos are mounted on a beige background.
