The following text about Sukulen is silk-screened to the inside of the
plexi-glass: "As a young girl, Sukulen began having dizzy spells and
hearing voices. She said she was very frightened and thought she was
getting ill. Her grandmother assured her that she was healthy and was,
in fact, very gifted. Sukulen is now a highly respected "predictor" in
her tribe. Two months before I arrived, she had told several people in
her village that I was coming, and had described in detail my
appearance and the equipment I was using."
