A round, distorted image of a woman set within a rectangular frame. A smaller black circle occupies the center of the frame, like an eye or lens around which the image revolves. The woman stands and reaches down toward the camera; the perspective makes it seem like her hands are as big as the entire rest of her body . The texture of grass is visible in the bottom portion of the image, while a building, trees, and sky are visible in the background.
