A person stands outdoors beside a large black and brown bison statue with white horns. They wear a pink sleeveless top, white shorts, white sneakers, and a tan crossbody bag. One arm is around the bison’s neck and the other rests on its side. The statue is set on a circular mulch bed bordered by bricks, with a red brick building and black metal fencing in the background.
