This horizontal textile shows a collection of overlapping human silhouettes formed in different colors. The bodies of the silhouettes all face us, while their heads are turned to the left or right. Their hands are outstretched and slightly raised, as if they are reaching out towards each other's hands. The silhouettes range from a light tan-yellow color to reddish-brown and dark brown, and each silhouette is marked with circular motifs similar to bullseyes. Some of the silhouettes have one marking, while others have several, all scattered across their forms. Behind these silhouettes is a patchwork fabric design resembling a quilt, with backgrounds ranging from bright patterns to plaid and striped fabrics.
