An abstracted collage-like image in light blue, brown and black. Near the top is a reproduction of Albrecht Durer's drawing Self-Portrait at Thirteen in black and white. Above are two phrases: L'ABEILLE and Hotel du Nord. To either side is the repeated motif of a young girl in a cap and white dress, her hands clasped in prayer. A strip of black along the top edge features pixelated planets, resembling video game graphics.
