A close-up image of a bear - or a person in a bear suit - descending on the camera, the viewer. It's a luridly coloured image - toxic green frames the bear, which itself is a kind of pinky purple. It's also somewhat pixelated. Dagger-sharp teeth are the focal point, as is a cross-shaped plaster stuck over the eye.
