A zoomed in piece of folded silk fabric with a pale yellow background accented with bright pink splatters. Overlaying this pattern are double black lines that coninuously intersect each other in the feeling of a road map. The pink splatters and black intersecting lines become more dense toward the right side of the fabric creating a more chaotic feeling. Because of the folds in the fabric, certain areas appear out of focus.

The photo of the man in the lab coat shows him holding a glass slide to which a grey or blue translucent bandage is attached. The bandage is in turn holding up a pig's heart, many times its weight. The bandage is.made with secretions from a slug. As a defense mechanism, slugs secrete an exceedingly sticky substance several times stronger than Super Glue. Surgeons use bandages like this in places where stitches would be contraindicated.
