The words ANGST MACHT are found inside a drawn heart shape, written out in pencil, lines protruding outward from the heart: (on one side) RITUAL (on the other) ABSTRACT, words contained in boxes that connect through other lines: DISEASE, MEDIEVAL, SHAME, PERFORMANCE, PLAGUE, STAIN, LEPRA, FILM, and above and on the right (surrounded by other ramifying villages of words, COMMUNITY and POWER, set apart) in a box all by itself floats DISTANCE. So distance, she writes, must be something that floats.
