Gouache paint and colored pencil drawing of various dental motifs in cyan, magenta, pale yellow, and white Gouache paint and colored pencil drawing of a nude figure with wavy brown hair and top surgery scars picking at their skin while sitting in a background. The figure has one hand lifted to pick at a red dot on their front arm, obscuring their face. Similar red dots are scattered over the skin of the figure, as well as brown body hair. In the foreground, there is a gray metal trash can, and in the background there is a shower/bathtub unit with a white shower curtain. A collage of medication information packets and orange transparent film. A letter made up of snippets of text from different sources informs the reader that they have failed to meet the requirements of society, listing the reasons below, and that treatment will be performed. Other vaguely ominous instructions regarding the treatment that is to be performed follow. The letter is mounted on an orange rectangle cut from orange transparent film, evoking a bottle of medication. In the background is a sheet of paper listing a multitude of concerning side effects. A gouache and colored pencil drawing in shades of red and dark blue of the back of the artist's right hand. In the right half of the piece is a close-up view of the tip of the middle finger, which is slightly unusually shaped due to scarring. Very faintly written at the bottom of the piece are the words 'Result of a childhood incident involving a slide and a large toy truck' in all caps. A colored pencil drawing on black paper of a cyan-colored orb with small black dots on it in the center. A vignette of darker black creeps in from the edges of the drawing, over which overlapping eye doctor's instruments and eye 'floaters' drawn on semi-transparent clear film are pasted.
