She wears a black leotard and pointe shoes pancaked to match her skin tone. Her partner is dressed in sheer black.

Mira Nadon poses against a white backdrop. She leans back on her hands as she sits on one shin with her downstage foot propped on pointe. Her expression is cool as she turns her face to the camera. She wears a dark green sleeveless unitard. Her dark hair is neatly pulled back in a high bun.

Eight women pose together in what seems to be an abandoned warehouse, each draped with silver or gold netting that variously covers their faces, necks, torsos, and/or legs. Closest to the camera, one woman leans back with her eyes closed, head carefully cradled in the hands of the woman sitting behind her. Another woman, features invisible beneath the mesh, reclines on a green block of fabric. The others pose further back, in pairs and solo, attitudes differing but all gazing intensely beyond the camera.
