Their faces are painted with exaggerated contour and overlined red lipstick. Behind them are hanging pictures on a black background; biggest image on the left shows a white woman with wavy blonde hair in a yellow swimsuit, face down on the beach with the calm shoreline behind her; above her there is white text that reads ‘your eyes, they strove’. The other smaller images on the right show various abstract image with blue and orange colours.
