  9. This image is divided into three parts. On the top, a dancer with long, flowing hair performs a dynamic floor move onstage, balancing on one hand with one leg extended upward. They wear a white top and dark, loose trousers, illuminated against a deep blue backdrop with shadowy figures in the background. In the middle, four people lined up behind one another, each extending their right arm diagonally to the side at gradually increasing heights, creating the appearance of a bird’s wing. On the bottom, a double-layered image featuring a portrait of a person with slicked-back black hair, yellow eyeshadow, and brown lipstick, looking toward the viewer with their mouth slightly open, overlaid with white and grey abstract shapes resembling clouds.

On the top, overhead view of metal trays holding a syringe, medical tools, a rosary, pearls, a small glass of milk, and an ornate book on a white background. On the bottom, a person dressed in a satin bra and black blazer leans backward, covering their open mouth with one hand and extending the other arm above their head to touch the head of another person embracing them from behind, who is wearing a grey blazer and has long, curly ginger hair.

  11. This image is divided into three parts. On the top, in red light, two rows of people, with the front row lying on their backs propped on elbows with knees bent, and the row behind leaning forward with arms hanging down. In the centre, an extended arm clenched in a fist, dressed in a sheer, beige stocking which is being pulled down by another hand, and with a disproportionately small person, wearing a beige leotard, crouching on all fours atop the arm, gazing toward the viewer. On the bottom, a person with short hair wearing a blue shirt leans forward with their face down, holding on their back another person whose hair is long and partially braided, wearing a navy T-shirt layered over a light purple long sleeve, and holding a yellow rose in their hand.
