Colour landscape image of a Nehiyaw Isko woman performing under a spotlight in a dark room, cropped to show her from the thighs up. She wears a pink frilly lace crop top and sparkly pink shorts with a green-blue pattern. Her golden brown hair is held by six sequinned barettes, three on either side of her head, and spills over her shoulders. Her forehead is decorated with a dense cluster of shiny pink beads and her makeup consists of blue eyeshadow and strong dark lines above and below her eyes as well as a vertical line down the centre of her lips and chin. Draped over her head and shoulders and extending down her arms to her hands is a shawl made from hundreds of bepsi (soda) can pull tabs woven together with long nylon streamers in bands of light blue, pink, orange, lavender, and white. The streamers hang from the edge of the shawl in a long fringe. The woman's face wear an intense look. Her left arm extends outward toward the camera, while her right arm is brought in close to her chest, creating a ripple in the shawl as it bends around her head and shoulders. To her right, part of a video of blue water is projected on the white panelled wall above wooden wainscoting.Description
