Video duration 00:13:22

A white cube gallery space with grey concrete floors. in the center is a projection screen with a layer of tranparent tulle fabric draped in front of it, making the projection soft, fuzzy and distorted. hanging from the top of the screen over the tulle fabric is a mask with three sheep-like horns, brown fur from the nose up and a beard speckled brown feathers from the nose down. on the projection screen, Yveline Burton, a white femme person with red hair and a black tank top on, sits with her back the audience. Her hair is partially shaved with long and short pieces sticking out. She is surrounded by small ritual objects, terracotta bowls, a shiny ormer shell with incense in it, and a halved pomegranate dripping juice down a terracotta stand. In front of the projection screen those objects and some of her hair are placed on a small alter covered with green velvet fabric. In the foreground Yveline sits in a black hoodie and mask, with newly shaved head, watching the video play out.
