Unraveling paper ribbons. A photorealistic gallery photograph taken from a slightly low wide angle in a bare concrete exhibition hall, lit by one hard spotlight from high front-left that lays a long shadow across the polished floor. A completely nude adult woman stands on a low stone plinth at the left third of the frame, weight on her right leg, left knee bent with the toe touching the plinth edge, torso twisted away from the camera, one arm crossing her ribs and the other reaching up, chin turned over her shoulder, hair loose. Broad sculptural paper ribbons unspool from her waist and thighs into one continuous spiral that rises past her head and curls through the empty air of the hall, thick matte cream strips with crisp cut edges, a second scroll resting coiled on the floor in the lower right, a third passing behind her hips, the paper still clinging where it leaves her skin. The hall is otherwise empty: raw concrete walls, a grey floor, a single steel column far in the background. Composition uses large empty grey space on the right against the dense paper spiral on the left, her body and the cut paper edges sharply in focus, the distant wall soft.
