The image shows a person standing upright with their arms raised, holding up the fabric of a large, wing-like costume. Their head is slightly tilted to the left. The person has distinct facial features with well-defined eyebrows and is wearing a headpiece with ornate detailing, complemented by large hoop earrings. Their hair is styled back. They are dressed in a form-fitting lace bodysuit with spaghetti straps. Bracelets adorn their wrists. The background is an outdoor setting with other people partly obscured by the fabric, and buildings visible in the distance.
