I am blind folded, standing on two stacks of black paper, wearing a sweater covered with different small objects. I start pushing the paper with my feet, spreading it out on the floor. I pull out a pair of scissors from my sleeve. I begin cutting the objects off my sweater; I place the object in my hand and hold it out as an offering. I hold it there until it is taken. I do this until there are no more objects. I cut the mask off and walk out.
