A carefree 20-year-old Indonesian woman lounges on a pristine sandy beach during golden hour, wearing a flowing tie-dye sarong wrap skirt in shades of turquoise and coral, paired with a matching bandeau top. Her bronzed skin glistens with a hint of sunscreen, and her tousled waves catch the breeze as she adjusts her wide-brimmed straw hat. She reclines on a colorful woven beach towel, propped up on one elbow, with her legs extended and crossed at the ankles. A stack of shell bracelets adorns her wrist, and her toes peek out playfully from beneath the sarong. Behind her, the ocean sparkles under the fading light, and palm trees sway gently in the distance. Her gaze meets the viewer directly, her eyes sparkling with mischief and warmth.
