Last night's effort. My wife pointed out that the incomplete chair back looks like it's supposed to be the model's stomach. Perhaps that's a feature and not a bug?

After you listen to this incredible tune, why not lend a hand to help bail out Black mothers and caregivers in pretrial detention, through @nationalbailout.bsky.social's annual #MothersDay fundraiser? www.nationalbailout.org
