A vertically oriented black-and-white photograph depicts a fragmented doll figure with a textured, cracked surface. Facing away, the figure leans against a wall and looks over its right shoulder. It has long, dark, wavy hair and wears a white ribbed tank top. Its lower torso is detached, resting on a stool. The face is a mask with one eye visible, gazing downward.
