Description

A black and white, eye-level shot depicts a woman in dark lingerie seated on a toilet within a bathroom setting. She has one arm up, and holds a cigarette between her lips. A razor is positioned on her upper arm. The background reveals a curtain, a toilet paper dispenser and tiled flooring. Debris, including a bottle of Corona beer and other items, scatters the floor around the base of the toilet. The image exhibits a high contrast and a shallow depth of field.
