A collage of two photos. On the left, a Fijian boy and a group of three Fijian girls in traditional dress, pose for a group portrait. On the right, one of the girls from the image on the left poses with a different traditional dress. Behind her, the boy from the image on the left stands smiling. All seem to pose for these photographs after the performance of two dances important to Fijian culture.
