A green being sitsz slumped over in an electric chair. The being is dressed in a gold striped prison uniform, a pained but vacant expression fills their face. Their feet and calves fad me into line drawing that reveals the green room behind. A gold grid forms the back wall reveal a window with more green outside.

Circles form from the edges of smaller circles. Green, Blue and red subtly pop through a dark texture.
