A nude woman depicted in a shade of royal blue stands before a background of gray with short red marks peppered across it. Her arms are raised and bent at the elbows so her hands are at shoulder-level. A red string that begins at her genital region is held and wrapped between her two hands, with a long excess of the string falling to the ground around her feet.
