On a white floor, a Black man lays on his back with on leg up and foot planted on the floor. His arms are stretched out in a T. His back is arched. He wears a dark gray t-shirt with white cuffs rolled up, and a shiny section in the middle of his chest in the shape of a V. The V is made of a brown shiny fabric. He wears gray pants. In the background, a blurry row of four people wearing shades of blue denim, sit on the ground and watch. There is also a woman, wearing gray, sitting on a chair and watching. Everyone looks on seriously.
