Description

Physical Description:

Printed in black, a hand reaches out from underneath one tabletop and towards a heart on the wall or window that is surrounded by smaller hearts. The heart is hooked up to a stethoscope that lies on the table along with a spilled test tube, a beaker with a dripping hose, and a microscope. Two animals resembling mice sit on the tabletops, and a spider and its web are visible in the background.
