label: Description
content: Jackson is shown in full length, wearing black Adidas track pants with three white stripes running down the outer leg seam, white sneakers, and a charcoal gray, short sleeve T-shirt. The T-shirt has been pulled over his head and is wrapped around the back of his neck, leaving his chest bare. He is shown in profile with his body facing the left edge of the image and his head turned towards the viewer. He is standing on the tip toes of his proper right foot with his knee slightly bent. His proper left leg is raised behind him and held parallel to the ground. His proper left knee is bent and his leg and foot are rotated sideways. His proper left arm is held downwards at his side while his proper right arm is raised and curled over the side of his head. Behind him, in the background, is a red brick building with a wide window covered in white metal mesh. Shadows from leafy trees are casted over the bricks on either side of Jackson.
