Portrait of Nyeema Morgan in her studio. Morgan is looking at the camera, wearing a white dress shirt with black polkadots with an off-white patterned cardigan on top. In particular, the pattern consists of black double lines that go up and down, occasionally layered with beige double lines going in the opposite direction. This creates an optical illusion---allowing the cardigan to seem like it has black polkadots throughout too. Behind Morgan, from left to right, is a bookshelf filled with books, a paper roll, lots of used paint brushes in a jar, and a plant in a plastic green pot.
