A blue figure with wings crouches in a dark, starry background, where numerous full-length little figures and profiles are depicted. The central figure takes a yellow fan with the inscription “We Mourn Our Loss.” Her blue wings are mixed with colorful feathers and a drop of tear on her face.
Thick slabs of bacon sit atop a man’s head, presumably the artist. The man is shown in profile and the bacon is arrange in a line on his head, similar to how a mohawk would look. His hair is short otherwise and the photograph ends at the top of his ear, erasing any identifying facial features. The photo is set against a stark black background.
