A still life composition featuring a variety of decomposing fruits and vegetables on a marble surface with strong shadow lines, suggesting sunlight coming through blinds. The image includes a partially framed photograph with colorful stripes at the bottom left corner, and the overall scene is captured within a white border.
A variety of colorful, spherical objects resembling planets scattered across a surface that is part marble, part dotted pattern, and part solid black, creating a visually intriguing composition that evokes a sense of a miniature solar system on a tabletop.
A still life composition featuring a variety of objects that resemble food items, such as a cauliflower, onions, and a pomegranate, alongside a brightly paint-splattered yellow rubber glove, all arranged on a dark tray. The background is blurred with indistinct shapes and colors.
A collage featuring various textures and patterns with a dominant central piece that appears to be a crumpled and textured material, surrounded by images and elements including polka dots, stripes, and photographic fragments. The overall composition is abstract with a mix of organic and geometric shapes.
Collage of various textures and objects including a gourd, sliced bread on a tray, and abstract patterns.

A collage of various objects and patterns including a burlap sack, geometric shapes, and circular elements that resemble parts of machinery or lenses, presented in a chaotic yet visually intriguing composition.
A Polaroid photo capturing a section of a wall with pegboard panels displaying various items: two photographs, one showing a natural landscape and the other an urban scene, and a couple of kitchen utensils, including a pot lid and a slotted spoon, hanging from the pegboard. The bottom edge of the photo includes a handwritten note that is partially cut off.
A photograph of a mixed media art piece featuring abstract elements, with a prominent orange and yellow triangular shape that appears to be a three-dimensional object with a textured surface. The background consists of various geometric patterns and halftone gradients, suggesting a digital manipulation or collage technique. The image includes a watermark or text overlay at the top with technical details about the file.
A close-up photograph of various textures and materials, featuring crumpled metallic surfaces in black and orange tones, with a strip of colorful stripes intersecting the image diagonally. There are also white shavings scattered across the surfaces, and a portion of a grid-like pattern is visible on the right side. The image has a white border framing it.
