Image Description: A red blob on the wall is surrounded by white, crinkled plastic pinned away as if it were the walls skin pulled back for dissection. Two amorphous shapes, one pink and one beige, are encased in sheer materials protrude from the red center. The pink “organ” is on the center right, beneath it is pink fabric encased in plastic wrap emulating small intestines. The beige “organ”, slightly smaller, hangs almost parallel on the left. Red thread and black ribbon hang down in a “u” shape, while knotted tulle hang cascades down the left side. The red center and amorphous shapes glisten with petroleum jelly.
