The image is a mixed media piece featuring the profiles of two individuals in a silhouette style against the American flag. The flag's stars and stripes are depicted with watercolor-like brush strokes, with stars at the top left and stripes extending vertically. Both profiles are filled with a striped pattern mirroring the flag, using tones of black and gray. No facial features are visible. The background continues the flag pattern. The lower part includes a black section with horizontal white stripes and the inscription "WORKING PROOF" at the bottom left. The artist's signature followed by '00 is in the lower right corner for the year 2000.
