A video-based exhibition by Claudia Krogmeier presented by the Wisconsin Union Directorate Art Committee at Gallery 1308 in Union South

A female-presenting person who is reaching towards the viewer, with their hand partially obscuring their face. The image is very pixelated, consisting of geometric shapes rather than a clear image. The image becomes more unintelligible the closer the viewer gets to it. The image is white and green, the same colors found throughout the Union Website.
