The near foot, in its white stocking, comes out large in the foreground. Asuka Langley sits on the dark tatami facing the camera, leaning on her right hand, with her left leg stretched toward the lens and her right folded under her. Her chin is lifted and she looks down into the lens, the expression haughty.

That foreshortening makes the leg a path into the picture, leading the eye back along the stocking to the swimsuit. The gold of the alcove sits behind the red suit, and the room's edges fall away into shadow.

The second of the two tatami frames in the set brings the gaze back to the lens, where the first turns it up and away.
