About this icon

Actions

Animation

  • cycles between distorted and normal head states

  • repeating
  • vertical text

Dense Caption

The icon consists of a repeating grid of identical panels. Each panel contains a pixelated figure with a striped upper body and dark lower body against a light gray background. The figure's head is distorted in some panels and appears normal in others. Vertical text appears on the left side of each panel: 'distorted' in the top-left panels and 'reality' in the bottom-left panels. The text is rendered in a pixelated font. The animation cycles through panels where the figure's head is distorted versus normal. The entire image is in grayscale with high contrast between the figure and background. The figure's pose is static with no visible expression or clothing details beyond the striped top and dark lower body. The animation changes the distortion state of the figure's head across panels.
