- Description
- A color photograph of Madisin Rian posing in a Gucci dress in the surf of Atlantic Beach, New York, captured by Dana Scruggs for The Zoe Report. Rian is depicted in full length, standing at the center of the image with her arms fully extended outwards on either side of her, palms upwards. She is facing forward, looking directly at the viewer, and has a serious expression on her face. Rian’s head is shaved and she is wearing a silky, lime green, dress. The long sleeve, wrap dress has puff shoulders, wide cuffs, and falls just below her knees. The dress’s two long, matching ties are knotted on her proper left side and Rian holds a tie end in each of her hands. The fabric of the dress and ties are billowing in the wind. Her feet are covered by an incoming wave. Behind her is the ocean with several small waves forming behind her and a mostly cloudless sky.
- The photograph has an uneven, thick, white border because the image is printed off center. There are also two thick bands of black along the top and left edges and thin, black bands on the bottom and right edges. Black text printed vertically along the bottom right edge of the image reads [File: DS_GreenDress_97260008_V3_20x24_Final.tif I Date: 10.05.2022 10:16:54 / Printer: EPSON SC-P200x0 RGB / Substrate: Hahnemuhle Ultrasmooth].
- The verso is plain white. In the bottom left quadrant, is the artist’s signature, the print’s edition number, and print date handwritten in black ink that reads [Dana Scruggs / 1/7 + 2 AP / 2022[underlined]].
