A digital art piece of two women sitting together at a bar table, seen from an extremely low angle. The anatomy is extremely stylized and fluid, and the colors are very saturated and vibrant. At the top is a colorful banner that says "We've Always Been Here" and at the bottom is a small box that says "Page artist."
