An animated image shows a man raising one arm up in the air; he is wearing a colorful crown, lip rings and a low cut shirt that showcases a large tattoo on his chest. In the background, there’s a man walking who wears a bright red suit.
There is a man sitting in a chair on a brick sidewalk. He is covering his face with his hand.
A mannequin with wooden hands stands in front of a sun like mirror. An urban setting can be seen in the reflection of the glass.
