In this black and white art photograph, a nude woman lays on her back. Her head and shoulders are closest to our vantage point, and her face is in profile. Her knees point away, towards the nearby swimming pool. Visually, her legs interrupt the line separating the pool decking from the water. The shadow of a palm frond visually connects her upper body to the pool by bridging the short distance between them. Additional palm shadows dominate the lower third of the image, reaching up to the edge of her body.
Around her neck is a necklace with a yin-yang symbol attached to it, emphasizing the balance between light and dark. The woman’s body is mostly middle grays with a few very dark tones in her shadow and hair. The brightest points in the image are in the upper third: sunlight reflecting in the water.
