View from the back seat of a car towards the front, seats and headrests framing the picture, a 24-year-old man composed entirely of swirling storm clouds and mist stands on a rocky coastal cliff. The cloud figure wears a solid black tuxedo jacket with a satin lapel and a bow tie, which contrasts sharply with the vapor body. The cloud head has a distinct silhouette of a nose and lips made of darker grey vapor. Wet seaweed clings to the solid shoes at the base of the cloud legs. The wind blows the tie of the jacket into a horizontal line. The man, of West African descent with very deep brown skin with cool undertones, has a muscular build with broad arms, a square face with a strong jaw, deep blue eyes, bushy eyebrows, and deep dimples. His hair is soft black with brown glints, in neat cornrows, and he has a thick moustache. He is deep in concentration, with his tongue poking from the corner of the mouth. A tilt-shift lens creates a narrow sharp band across the frame, with the top and bottom softly blurred. Direct on-camera flash at night provides a bright foreground and a black background. Everything curls inwards along a spiral towards the main figure. Shot on a medium format camera, the image features a miniature effect due to the tilt-shift, with high contrast from the flash illuminating the clouds against the dark night.
