Description

This is a diptych in black and white. The left side features the close-up of a woman's face in profile. Her face is marked with multiple small, round, spherical objects that appear to be adhered to her skin. The overall aesthetic is stark and contrasts organic features with geometric shapes. The right side of the diptych presents the back of a woman with long hair, who is otherwise nude except for a cropped black jacket. The jacket has an open back detail, with a thin strap running down to the lower back. The background on the right side is plain and light. The contrast in composition between the two sides is notable, with one side highly stylized and the other presenting a more naturalistic form.
