The video starts with a woman holding two blank pieces of paper taped together. She has a black tank top, and all that is seen is her torso and arms. As she is crumpling the papers, phrases appear on the screen. They are in a bulleted list here to signify when one phrase ends and the other begins.
- You’re crazy
- I don’t think you should hang out with them.
- Next, the word “wh*r*” appears.
- I’ll get you back
- all your threats
- assault
- stalking me
- isolating me
- hiding my meds
- no one will ever love you like I do
- You’re a burden
By this time the papers are in a ball.
Now she is uncrumpling the papers to reveal family photos with the words, “I AM A Survivor,” written in red below the pictures.
The pictures are an adult female in a black tank top snuggling a child while writing something, a mom holding a newborn baby, a male child about 4 or 5 held close to a man’s face, and two wedding pictures.
At the end there is a black screen with, “Video Art by Luna Eversong-Kloss.”
