Description

An overhead editorial portrait captures two Black women lying together against a rocky coastal backdrop. The woman on top wears a textured grey fringe collar and rests her hand gently near the cheek of the smiling woman below her. The lower figure is draped in a shimmering metallic gold fabric that catches the sunlight. Both women have dark curly hair styled in natural afros, and circular halo-like decorations appear near their heads. The natural outdoor lighting casts sharp shadows across the textured stone surface.
