Visual Description of Artwork
In this photograph, two nude figures, a man and a woman, lie on their backs on a trash-covered beach at low tide, each reaching a hand out to the other. Plastic containers and packaging are piled on, and embedded in, the sand that surrounds the figures, filling almost the whole frame. Like the beach, the pair’s bodies are piled with plastic trash. Between them is a circular, dark pool of water or oil in which rests a large curving pale snake. The woman is handing a browning, mostly eaten apple to the man.
