Three individuals stand together in shallow water. They are close to each other, with their bodies visible from below the chest upward. The person in the middle is held by the individuals on either side, forming a small circle with their hands. The central person wears a headwrap, partially shadowing their face, which is turned downward. The two men on the sides have short-cropped hair and are facing the camera. All three individuals are dressed in long-sleeved white garments. The setting is a natural, wooded area, with trees and foliage surrounding them and a stream nearby. The background is softly focused.
