A sculpture of a bone-white human skeleton standing behind a light-skinned, fully clothed adult human figure. Both the figure and the skeleton stand on top of a black hexagonal pedestal with a white turn handle on the side. The human figure has mid-length, dark brown hair and is wearing bell-bottom blue jeans, brown shoes, a magenta shirt, and a light pink coat. The skeleton is smiling and holding the human’s left arm down while raising the right arm into the air. Within the raised hand are two pieces of paper, one pink and one yellow. The human’s mouth is slightly open, and their eyes are staring forward.
