A digital collage with a white background and 7 test tubes laid out horizontally but one above each other vertically with space between. Some filled with red, as though blood and others with paper inside the tubes with red text on the paper, as if messages in a bottle. From top to bottom the writing reads. "If I write / my experience / in my would / would you listen?" 6 red liquid lines as if blood are dripping down the background behind the tubes.
