In this profile photo of Heather, she smiles for the camera, her brown hair tied into a bun on the back of her head, wearing red lipstick, red dangling earrings, and a black blazer with a white shirt underneath.

The black-and-white photo shows Heather’s whole body in an arch shape, her arms raised above her head, her hands rolled up like a plant about to unfold, standing on both legs, one knee bent, and her feet arched hard. She stood in front of a window through which city lights shone, and the floor was wooden. She was barefoot wearing a long asymmetrical sleeveless top and black leggings.
