Image Description: Six cartoony smiley faces are lined up in two rows against a blue background. They may be familiar to those who have seen a pain scale pictogram. Each face has a different color, making a gradient that goes from deep green to deep red, with yellow and orange faces in the middle. The first face is smiling widely and the last face is frowning in crying. Each face in between shows the smile progressively going from a smile, to a so-so expression, to the frown. On top of these faces, is a woman's outline in black. Her long curly hair resembles the artist's. The body is repeated 3 times. The entire image has a wavy, distorted effect that blurs the lines and shapes.
