A woman in an all-white outfit sits cross-legged on a striped red-and-white mat in an indoor hall. She wears a white blindfold tied over her eyes and a white headband, with a dark beaded necklace and a bangle on one wrist. Her hands are raised in front of her chest in a meditative gesture. Behind her a second person in white sits partly hidden. Orange-cushioned chairs stand at the left beside a grey curtain, and a steel railing runs along a raised platform on the right. A blue sign on the wall reads maintain silence, switch off cell phones, children under 12 years not allowed, and photography prohibited. The scene suggests a blindfolded meditation or sensory exercise.
