A medium shot in a softly lit domestic bathroom. Diffused natural daylight filters through a large window (or frosted pane) directly behind a woman, backlighting her and casting her distressed expression in soft detail. She is seated on a white toilet, leaning forward with a painful expression on her face and both hands pressed firmly against her lower abdomen. She wears a grey t-shirt and dark jogger pants. The frame is balanced with a white vanity unit and mirror to the left, holding a hand towel on a ring and a small bottle, over a tiled floor. The walls are a muted, neutral color. No visible text appears on any object.
