The image displays a person wearing a unique animal-like mask, standing with hands in pockets in a room. The individual is off-center in the room, facing forward. They wear a short-sleeved button-up shirt tucked into high-waisted trousers with black suspenders. The trousers are slightly cropped, revealing white socks and dark shoes. Mismatched chairs are scattered in the room with a window on the left wall holding disposable cups on the ledge. The floor is shiny wooden and the walls have a subtle vertical pattern.
