- The page is part of a handmade book with a textured, off-white paper spine. On the left side, there is a photograph of an empty parking garage with white lines and a small white car visible in the distance. Below the photograph, a black strip with white text reads "IS THE APOCAL." Above the photograph, a small, yellow, rectangular object is placed. On the right side, handwritten text is visible, with the top line reading, "As a parent as an individual I continue to embody what you've taught me and John with Colling. Be there as the child becomes a parent." Below this, another line reads, "Not over the responsibility of a child! (in the gap between experience + idealization)." The top of the page also features cut-out letters spelling "BLM" and "TREES."
