A slightly pixelated video still of a figure standing on a dark gray floor, facing away from the camera and toward their own, slightly shorter shadow on the pale background wall. This person wears dark jeans, brown hiking boots, and a beige straitjacket, and their head is entirely obscured by long dark brown hair flying outward, captured mid-motion.
