A colorful abstract artwork featuring a large blue geometric pattern in the background with a green and pink winged figure in the center, a small white figure to the right, and a group of figures with elongated limbs in red and green at the bottom.

A contemplative person resting their head on their arm, with a soft blue tone and blurred background.

A black and white artistic illustration showing a tap at the top left corner with water flowing out, leading to a collection of sunflowers with human faces at various sizes and expressions. The background is plain, emphasizing the contrast between the elements.

Illustration of a young person with short hair, wearing a buttoned-up shirt and trousers with a belt, standing against a light blue background. The image has a sketched, incomplete look with some color details on a predominantly white figure.

This image displays two identical strips of film negatives with a landscape scene, featuring what appears to be a rocky terrain with patches of vegetation. The negatives are set against a white background, and there is text beneath each strip indicating technical details. The artist's signature and the year '90 are visible in the lower right corner.

Woman with curly hair holding a coffee cup, looking pensive in a dimly lit room with text "Suggesting/listing methods of recall."

$A colorful abstract artwork featuring a dense cluster of black and white buildings in a roughly triangular shape, with splashes of red, yellow, and green watercolor-like accents. The background is white with a few scattered blue star-like symbols and circular shapes resembling moons or planets. The bottom left corner has a fraction number indicating the print edition, and the bottom right corner contains the artist's signature.$
