The image shows a woman standing in an elevator. She is leaning against the wall with her head turned to the side. The woman has long hair and is wearing glasses. She is wearing a long trench coat and holding a cup with a straw in one hand. In her other hand, she is carrying a tote bag with the text "Count us!" on it. The woman is barefoot. The elevator has metallic walls and a patterned floor. The lighting is dim, casting soft shadows.
