This photo shows two draped figures lying in a bed, their faces blurred. Above them hangs a round picture of a winged figure. The room has tall columns, a dark blue wall, and a ceiling with a red dome. The bed looks like a real one, but the figures are covered in smooth white fabric. The round picture above them shows a person with wings, maybe flying or falling. Check out the artist Karen Knorr for more of her work.
