DescriptionPlain white background with two intersecting diagonal bands of color across the page. The central band transitions from red and goes through the color spectrum down to the blue on the bottom. The colors jump from this spectrum and there are strokes of color appearing across the band, rounded by the motion of the hand. Black lettering and circular designs decorate the page, appearing like the calculations on the whiteboard of a scientist. The subjects of these writings include the words galaxies, solar systems, sex, energy and god. There is also a repetition of the words cancer and sickness. Phrases appear such as sickness-physical symptom of mental cause and sickness caused by lack of love.
