Two vertical, rectangular, polished steel panels are hung close to each other on a dove-gray wall, and the wavy reflections show the wood floor and gray wall behind us. In the left panel, the image of a woman is silkscreened onto what appears to be a mirror. The woman has brown skin, and she stands facing away mostly away from us. She points into the distance with her left hand, farther from us, and her other arm hangs by her side. She wears a rounded white cap with a narrow brim over shoulder-length dark hair. The edge of her glasses are visible over her right cheek. Her white dress is cinched at the waist, has short sleeves, and comes to mid-calf. She wears white sandals with low heels. The room reflected around her has dark gray paneling along the bottom of the lighter gray walls.
