This video is a stop-motion video. It includes jerky, flicking motion.

A stop-motion video of a painted artwork. The video is portrait oriented. The main image throughout the video is of a person holding their head. The head is large and painted in a grey, brown colour that takes up most of the space. There is no neck. The head has a large mouth painted open in an exaggerated scream like appearance. The mouth is bordered in a thin red lip and there are teeth painted in at the top and bottom. Inside the open mouth is painted black with a dark spiral of black, grey and white on top. The head has closed eyes and a nose painted in black above the mouth. There are two hands painted in a pale cream holding the head on either side. The wrists of each hand are painted so they continue cut off at the edge of the painting. There are Hebrew letters spiralling out of the mouth in a stop-motion way, moving in a spiral motion from the top right corner into the mouth and back out again. The background of the painting is a textured dusty and greyed green and blue colour.
