A woman visits a personal stretcher, only to have unexpected objects pulled out of her body. A near silent witness statement to the reopening of invisible wounds in an abstract pursuit of healing.

Sam is a 19-year-old artist drifting through post-high school adolescence in a drug-fuelled haze, doing anything to avoid actually painting.
