The image is a low, long shot of a performance space, with bright lights at the top of the frame shining toward the camera. In the foreground, Udita kneels on the floor, eating a bite of colorfully frosted cake off a plate that rests on a lampshade, also on the floor. Around and behind her in the room are shredded pieces of paper in pastel colors.
