This colored pencil drawing is a figurative self portrait that comprises two figures, one being in the foreground reaching longingly towards the viewer, and the other in the middle ground reaching up to the figure in front.

This is set in a small and confined room with only one visible exit being a red door placed directly in the center of the room behind the figures.
