Through a floor-to-ceiling glass storefront, we see an Asian woman with wavy chin-length dark hair sitting bare-legged in a room strewn with seat cushions, a microphone, and an assortment of mysterious, colourful prints and objects. A few prints hang on the wall to her right, as well as an anatomical poster behind her. She sits up with her knees bent, feet planted on the ground, legs spread apart with a crumpled white sheet partially draped over her thighs. She is looking away from the camera.
