Wearing an orange dress she stretches her arm off the back of her wheelchair and her dark curly hair flows down with it. She looks up at the ceiling with one arm to her face. The stage behind her a sea of pinks and purples. Pink curtain and a pale purple carpet. We see the text “Creative Access Production Programme 2025” overlayed on the top right of the image, as well as the Arts Council of Ireland logo, and the Disrupt logo.
