A photograph taken from behind of a figure in an orange-red sleeveless top and flowing orange-red wrap standing barefoot on a red carpet, arms raised with palms open toward a large tented hall. Long dark wavy hair falls down the back. Seated in rows before them are many men in white shirts and white trousers, each wearing a white cloth tied over their eyes as a blindfold, with a few in pale pink shirts at the left edge. White ceiling fans hang beneath a white and blue draped canopy, and blue side curtains enclose the space. The scene suggests a group blindfold exercise led by a standing instructor.
