Intricate gray abstract artwork with swirling topographic lines and delicate clustered floral-like shapes across the page.

Two lit matches held by hands burning at each end of a tied string between them.

A basketball player in a white uniform leaps and reaches high toward the hoop during a crowded game.

An antique gramophone horn on a base with a printed caption about mutual silence.

A seated blue-toned nude woman with a pacifier in her mouth and bright red high heels.

Three tiny nude figures sit and relax on oversized lotus leaves and seed pods.

A printed page showing a microscopic cross-section photograph above paragraphs of explanatory text.

Twenty white chalk-like scribbles arranged in a five-by-four grid on a dark background.

Two blurred, ghostly figures face each other, one in a dark dress and one in a white gown.
