the image is a diptych, meaning it's composed of two distinct photographs displayed together. the left side shows a closeup, highcontrast black and white portrait of an african woman's face. her expression is serious and contemplative. the right side depicts a fullbody, nude shot of a similar african woman, positioned in a seated pose. both images feature highly contrasted lighting, making the subjects appear almost sculptural, with smooth, dark skin tones emphasized by sharp shadows. the overall aesthetic is minimalist and artistic, focusing on the form and texture of the body. the contrasting compositions—a closeup portrait versus a fullbody image—create a powerful juxtaposition.
