The image shows a person sitting on the ground beside a wire pen with a large black pig inside. The person has short black hair, wears an orange jumpsuit and black sneakers. They have a tattoo on their neck. The area is outdoors with dry ground covered in straw and dirt. Beside the pen, there is a small pile of blankets and items near a chain-link fence. The image is brightly lit, suggesting it was taken during the daytime.
