Visual Description

A blindfolded woman stands wrapped in white bandages that wrap her body and trail as ribbons into the air. Eight orange bats circle her, some clutching the white strips, while a black cat sits at her feet playing with a ribbon. The scene is set on a small rocky island beside purple water under a starry night with a pale moon and a distant castle on a cliff.
