On the top, a blurred photo shows a group in uniform grey dresses standing in formation with their backs to the audience, arms raised overhead, while one figure stands off to the right, set apart with arms resting by her sides. In the middle, two people are embracing, with one suspended above and hanging downward, wearing a black T-shirt and jeans, while the other stands below, wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans. On the bottom, two people wearing all-white attire kneel closely together, one partly atop the other, looking sideways, on a rectangular white drape marked with abstract multicoloured lines.

On the top, a decrepit room with peeling paint and a rundown wooden floor, featuring a distorted mannequin sitting on an abstract structure by a window, while another abstract structure hangs from the ceiling. In the centre, black and white image of two people, one standing sideways with a leg bent backward, nearly touching the other, who sits with one leg bent and the other extended back, leaning on one arm and reaching the other behind them. On the bottom, a layered image showing the back of a person wearing a black balaclava, positioned against a background of trees and overlaid with a translucent perspective view of a columned pavilion.
