The Nightclub Singer

Writing
A 3D collage made with paper and fabric shows a woman with a white face and arms and red flowers for hair wearing a dress made of red, yellow, purple, and orange strips of fabric. She is holding a flower as if it is a microphone and singing into it. She is framed by two white pillars and behind her is a red curtain. The walls of the night club she is performing in are decorated with multicolored words, stars, swirls, and flowers with a funky design. There is a red orb hanging from the ceiling like a disco ball and neon lines of light on the wall above the red curtain.
