A street scene. In the middle are a silhouetted male and female-presenting figure, with their arms around each other. The man reaches his left arm out to the shoulder of a third person, who is female-presenting. Various silhoutted objects extend from the borders of the image inward toward the couple. These inclue a streetlight that shines on to them, a trombone, a playing card, part of a 1-dollar bill, and a street sign.
