Video and Image Descriptions: The piece shows a video being projected onto a painted canvas. The canvas has partial outlines of rectangles that form a grid pattern with some spaces left without rectangles. There are also various spots on the canvas that show painted lines in various colors, gray and blue dots, and multi-colored clouds. There are two sections of writing as well. In a rectangle on the left there are the words "It is hard to do things alone; that's why I wanted to invite you into my artwork with me. I would have liked to interact with you in person so I'm glad that I can at least interact with you like this." On the middle right of the canvas there is more writing that says "I want to thank you for joining me for this." The video on the canvas is a loop of clips that show Amethyst driving, sitting on her couch on her laptop, having some tea and a cookie, walking down a snowy street, sitting on her floor painting the canvas, and looking out of a window before entering another room. The images show close ups that show the shadows of head and shoulders on different parts of the canvas throughout the videoAmethyst Strivelli
