Two individuals stand near tents in a forest while at a commune, Vitrupe, Latvia, 1978. Both individuals stand in the foreground. One person stands along the left edge and faces slightly right. They wear a bucket hat with a scalloped edge and a long-sleeved shirt with a small peace symbol on it. In one hand, they hold a cigarette. With the other hand, they reach out towards the person standing at right. The person at right stands with their back to the camera. They wear a jacket with artwork emblazoned across its back. A large satchel hangs off their left shoulder. A commune campsite is visible in the background. A tent, maybe two, are pitched beyond the person at right. A dense forest rises in the distance.
