- Description
- The image shows an open journal with two visible pages. The left page features a collage with a dark background intersected by diagonal white lines, creating a web-like pattern. Over this are cut-out letters forming the phrase, "ONE SUICIDE IS TOO MANY." There is also an image of a person's face partially obscured, and a purple iris flower in the bottom left corner. The bottom of the page has handwritten text in white on a black background. The right page contains handwritten notes in black ink, listing dates and personal notes, with a noticeable gap at the top of the page. Several tabs and layers of paper protrude from the top of the journal, with one tab labeled "ELECTION."
