Sitting 8 x 10 (52F)
1980

Two men seated in a room with checkered black and white flooring and colorful curtains. The man on the left is partially obscured by a shiny black helmet he is holding, and the man on the right is shirtless, wearing glasses, and seated on a wooden chair, with a red hue on his skin. The setting has a surreal, artistic vibe with a mix of patterns and colors.
