Description: In the middle of a field, a man is sitting on an decorated chair. He’s got his right hand in the air, with one finger sticking out. The man looks tired. The top of his head is bald, with curly hair flowing to his shoulders starting slightly at the top of his ears. Tree’s and bushes are in the background. Above the head of the man, to the left of the image, a bee flies in the sky.
