Description

A woman is photographed in a staged outdoor setting, holding a climate protest banner. She wears a black long-sleeved top under a metallic and suede vest, along with a unique tan skirt that appears to be constructed from stacked leather blocks. The banner, with what seems like hand-painted letters and a green graphic, is held high. To her side, a globe sits on a wooden stand. The setting includes a draped blue fabric in the foreground, a plastic shopping bag with a smiley face, and a collection of assorted objects including jars. The backdrop is a painted sky with blue and yellow tones, suggesting either dawn or dusk. The lighting is soft and diffused, giving the image a somewhat dreamlike quality.
