A digital quilt self-portrait by Wit Lopez. The artist is wearing yarn braids on their head, sky blue makeup around their eyes, and holding four yarn balls. The background is black with little white stars and dots. There are sections that are images of squares of fabric in the colours red, yellow, green, and purple. Little crocheted circles fill the bottom of the image. Strands of loose yarn form a triangle around the artist, and a disembodied hand points down from the top of the image.
