Three people are sat on a red sofa on a stage, surrounded by red and pink confetti. There is one man on the left-hand side in jeans and a t-shirt, he has blonde hair in a ponytail and green paint in war-like markings across his face. The other two are women – one on the right-hand side of the sofa is wearing a green hoodie and combat boots, and the one in the centre is wearing orange joggers and is holding a cardboard box.

A white man with piercing blue eyes is mostly in shadow, with only the right edge of his face in the light. He has blue tape all over his face, covering everything but his eyes, nostrils and mouth. He is holding some playing cards to his mouth as if he is about to eat them, his hand is in a blue latex medical glove.
