This is a close-up image of Kylie's large clay sculpture. The white base the sculpture is sitting on takes up the bottom third of the image. You can see the detail of the piece, with it's shape being created by large slabs of clay layered on top of each other. It sits on a smooth clay base, but the rest of the shape has an intentional roughness to it. The texture appears like jagged stones layered upon one another. In the center is the cavity created by Kylie's pregnant torso, which is smooth, in contrast to the roughness around it. The sculpture is in focus, and through the cavity in the middle, you see the pietà in the background blurred out of focus.
