"Your spicy scent precedes you and envelops me in a first kiss... I know you're there... behind me..."

With her eyes closed, a woman turns her face to the right above a dark coat. Her red bun echoes the large red and pink circles in the background, punctuated by small black discs.

Below, light plant motifs repeat in shades of green and gray. The framing gives ample space to her neck, cheek, and the movement of her hairstyle, like a thoughtful pause focused on a close presence.
