Three black-and-white prints portray the composite image of a family in a bedroom in the morning.

Three large black-and-white prints abut to show a whole scene of a family of four in a bedroom, at life-size scale. Two parents, man and a woman, lie in a large bed and are waking up. Their two young sons, who are wearing onesies, have just jumped into bed with them. The father wears a t-shirt, is sitting up and smiling, and wraps his left arm around the younger son, who also smiles. The mother wears a tank-top and has a cloth wrapped around her hair. She is sitting up and stretches, her left arm extending upward. Her older son smiles and lays on top of the comforter, over her legs. On the walls around the bed and family, there are framed works of art and pictures of single figures. The wall behind the bed has a repeating pattern of circles, triangles, and horizontal lines, but the walls to the left and right are plain wood. To the left of the bed in the corner of the room, there is a bedside table with a potted plant on top of it. To the right of the bed is the entrance to the room. In the hallway beyond, there is a staircase leading upstairs.
