In a bright parking garage, a man with dark hair wearing a navy and white pinstripe shirt, gray jeans, and black and white sneakers stands on his hands with his legs held out behind him. One leg is straight and the other is bent up towards the sky. The man wears a brace on one wrist.

On a parking garage roof, a man wearing a black bucket hat, pants and sneakers strikes a pose in midair with his feet and one arm outstretched to the sky and one arm bent at a right angle, palm flat and facing the ground. The background shows a white cement brick wall and a cloudy, pale blue sky.
