In a minimalist studio room with a blank plaster wall, two women stand close together. The woman on the left is Middle Eastern with light olive skin and short curly hair that brushes her neck. She is topless and wearing black trousers rolled at the waist. Her posture is upright, arms at her sides. The woman on the right is Afro-Caribbean with tall posture, strong shoulders, and a warm brown skin tone. She is topless and wears loose grey sweatpants tied at the front. The photograph is cropped just below their jaws and extends to their knees. Both women are facing forward, but their heads are cut out of the image. Their shoulders are nearly touching. One breast from each woman is visible, side by side in the center of the frame, each lit differently — the left in soft ambient light, the right in cold indirect light coming from a skylight. The concrete floor beneath them is cool grey. A chair sits in the background with a sweater folded over it. The image is centered, symmetrical, and factual — a study of skin, proximity, and balance in space.
