A horizontally oriented black-and-white photograph depicts a sequence of figures with light skin tones leaping through a dark space from our left to right. Most wear dark clothing, but the figure on our far right is shirtless in light pants, arm extended forward. Strong light from our right illuminates their bodies, creating sharp contrast against the black background. A wooden floor is visible below the suspended group.
