A monochromatic artwork depicting a celestial scene with a large planet and its prominent ring system taking up the majority of the frame, accompanied by a smaller moon or satellite in the foreground. Stars dot the black background. The piece is framed with a white border, and there is handwritten text at the bottom that reads "another system of existence."
A grayscale illustration of a surreal office scene with papers and objects floating in mid-air, featuring a desk with a lamp, a chair, and a filing cabinet in a room with shadows cast by unseen light sources. There is handwritten text at the bottom of the image.
A pencil sketch of a window framed by heavy curtains, with a cloudy sky visible through the glass. Below the image, there is handwritten text that reads, "I know that she always loved me more."
