Photo of Nadenh, one of Stopgap's wheelchair dance artists during an outdoor performance of Frock. He balances in a shoulder stand in his wheelchair, his head pressed against the pavement and hands bracing himself as he lifts his lower body and chair into the air. He looks towards the front of the image and we see the underside of his chair. Nadenh is a brown-skinned Cambodian man, he wears a floral yellow dress, black fingerless workout gloves and black trainers. A crowd of people watches in the background.
