A cartoonish creature dressed in pink, jester-like clothes is in the middle of the screen. She has a child-friendly appearance that popular mascot characters would have such as Mickey Mouse. She is smiling as she looks slightly to the left, listening to a person that is not shown within this particular scene.Her arm is bent slightly, as if she was in the middle of reaching something with her white, mittened hand above her head and out of frame towards the top right of the screen. The background of the image is a yellow, monochromatic painting that shows the top left half of a fridge on the right side of the frame. There is a blurry filter over the image that makes it appear as if is it was recorded on an old VHS tape.

This is an image of a pair of pants hanging next to a quilt on a white wall. The pants are a light striped gray, with holes in them that have been patched with gray, blue, purple, and tan fabric. More holes have been cut from the patched pants, and you can see the wall through the holes in the pant legs. The quilt is made of the same gray, blue, purple and tan fabrics that were used to patch the pants. Patches are visible in some of the quilt squares, where pieces were taken from the pants. The pattern of the quilt falls apart as it moves away from the center, until it reaches the edge and the pattern is no longer recognizable.
