Title Image
This is a color photograph of artist Maru Garcia holding her arms out in front of her and smiling towards something off-camera. Maru is wearing a black t-shirt and has her hair up in a bun. There is an object draped across her hands made of material that resembles slime. It is drooping down on either side, and is mostly transluscent with a slight yellow tinge. There is another hand belonging to someone out of frame that is reaching toward to touch the material. Behind Maru, there is a white gallery wall visible with shadows visible.
