A black-and-white line drawing shows a winding two-lane road. It curves sharply to the right and abruptly ends at a jagged cliff, with cracked concrete and rubble falling off the edge. Just before the cliff, on the left side of the road, stands a large billboard. The billboard displays the partially written phrase GUILT TRI… in blocky letters and trailing off with ellipses, suggesting the word GUILT TRIP. There are sparse patches of grass on either side of the road and the setting feels remote. The imagery suggests an emotional or psychological journey that leads to a sudden stop or dead end, consistent with themes of unresolved guilt and pressure.
