Description

Two young adult women pose closely together outdoors against a blue wall. They are wearing matching avant-garde gowns with bold geometric color blocking in red, yellow, green, and white. One woman has her hand raised to her forehead, while the other looks directly at the camera. The women both have dark skin and wear their hair in elaborate styles with dreadlocks and cowrie shells. The dresses are sleeveless with asymmetrical cuts, and the colors pop against the rough texture of the blue wall. The natural lighting highlights the fabric's sheen.
