ALT Media Description: Oona Doherty sits cross-legged on a curb, leaning up against a beige stone wall with a metal grate to her left. She wears baggy black pants, orange socks, black tennis shoes, large hoop earrings made of woven fabric, and a thin jean jacket over an oversized white button down. With her eyes closed, she tilts her chin up slightly and turns her head to her right, as if basking in the circle of light projected onto her and the wall behind. She rests her hands limply on her thighs.
