In the foreground, a middle-aged Black woman with short, styled hair wears oversized glasses, bold gold jewelry, and a shimmering gold blazer, her expression tense and serious. Behind her, a younger woman with long dark hair and a mustard-yellow blouse stares ahead with a neutral but focused gaze. The wood-paneled walls of the elevator add to the confined, intense atmosphere.
