A large portrait of a young man wearing a black T-shirt with a white stencil of a gorilla's face on it. The man has shaggy hair and stares straight forward at the viewer. The background is white, the subject is saturated in this white 'light'.

This piece captures the essence of her brother at the age of 21, bathed in the overexposed glow of the Australian sun. The subject wears a T-shirt adorned with a gorilla's face, adding a layer of symbolism to the portrayal.
