A girl with open arms and black pigment on her arms and legs, beside a blue bucket.

WM-GRO-10-031

The girl opens her arms, covered in pigment

The girl in the white tank top opens both arms. Black pigment covers her arms and legs, and it also marks the tank top. A woman bends toward a blue bucket. Other girls and boys stand around her.

The girl looks down and smiles. She wears black shorts and sandals. The pigment reaches her hands and her feet, and drops mark the dirt. The woman, in a dark shirt, puts one hand into the bucket. Girls and boys stand around her: some are shirtless, others wear shirts. A white cloth shows on the right. The ground is dirt, and it is night.
