A person stands smiling in front of a large woven installation framed in wood. They wear a bright blue fuzzy hat, oversized tinted glasses, large gold hoop earrings, a nose ring, layered necklaces, a colorful purple, blue, and black tie-dye shirt, and a light beige jacket. Their hands are tucked into their pockets. Behind them, the woven artwork partially reveals glowing orange letters, creating a textured backdrop in a bright gallery space.
