One woman warmly embraces another from behind, her hands on top of one another between the second figure's shoulder and heart. The entire portrait is hand embroidered using differing stitching styles. The face combines a satin stitch technique in unexpected color blocks with a more randomized style to create depth and provide a distinction between features. A variety of blues, greens, pinks, purples, and yellows are used in different gradients to surreal effect.
