A photo taken from the bare shoulders up of a light-skinned woman screaming with string wrapped multiple times around her head. She has medium brown hair that’s tied back into a ponytail and appears to be wearing natural makeup. She has bushy brown eyebrows, soft brown eyeshadow, mascara, a little blush, and a subtle red lip. The background is a dull white/grey behind her, and she’s facing towards the right.
