A brightly colored textile work shows two women on either side and a dog in between them. The woman on the left is light-skinned and dances—her arms upraised, her right leg bent behind her—in a vibrant pink leotard. The other woman—dark-skinned with dark hair radiating from her head at all angles and wearing a dark blue full body suit—stands facing forward, looking at the viewer with a finger raised at us.
