The image shows an urban scene in Times Square, New York, with several large digital billboards displaying advertisements. In the center, there is a vibrant and colourful digital art piece on a billboard, depicting a stylized perfume bottle with a figure inside it. The bottle is primarily in hues of purple and blue, with an ethereal quality emphasized by surrounding swirling clouds and vapour-like elements in white and pink. Below the central image, there is a call to action that says "find us on TikTok," suggesting the art is part of a promotional campaign. The scene is captured at dusk or evening, with the illuminated billboards standing out against the dimly lit surroundings. Other visible elements include a partially seen advertisement for food on the left, a blue billboard to the right with "adl.org" written on it, and the dark silhouette of a building with lit windows.
