This is a collage of black and white photographs. The images include a still life with a container of eggs, a glass of wine, and slices of bread or cake on a table. There is a surreal portrait of a figure with a mask on their face, a sophisticated arrangement of fruits in a bowl, a tribal figure wearing traditional attire and jewelry, and a close-up portrait. Central to the composition is an image of two figures draped in fabric with their forms masked.
