The frame of the vignette features a ball, and abstract shapes repeated in each corner with the text "Finley Baker 2025."

The first figure is a mixed race Latine trans masc person with freckles and long curly red hair in a half-up half-down style. He is in an electric wheelchair and has elbow contractures. He is wearing a CPAP mask connected to the machine, which is on the floor by their feet. They are wearing a green sleep t-shirt and boxer briefs. The second person is kneeling in front of her partner. She is a Black trans femme person with her hair in a protective style for under wigs. She has uneven shoulders, a curved spine, and a scoliosis surgery scar up her back. They have cataracts in both eyes. They are looking back kindly at the viewer, with one hand on their partner's thigh. They are wearing yellow and red pajama ruffle shorts and no shirt. In the background, there is a bed with a wooden bed frame, yellow sheets, and pillows. A mobility cane is folded up on the bed. On the wall above the bed, there are three wigs and wig-care supplies, including a hot comb, edge brush, wig spray, a wig cap, and more.]
