Full-color double exposure on film made in the camera, combining two frames into one: the first is a close-up profile of a Black woman in her mid-twenties with dark brown skin, a high sculpted afro and a gold ring through her septum, facing frame-left against a white sky; the second is a night shot of a black Brabus P 900 pickup parked on a city street with its round LED headlights glowing. The truck and the street fill the inside of her silhouette: its boxy cabin, carbon hood and black roll bar sit across her cheek and jaw, the two headlight rings glow as white circles where her eye sits, and the streetlamps and red taillights of the city spread through her afro as scattered points of light. Outside her profile, the white sky stays clean, crossed only by the faint traces of overhead wires. The edges of her profile, her lips, nose and eyelashes, stay sharp where the two exposures meet. Film grain and a slight orange light leak along the right edge mark the negative.
