A man with short dark hair, a mustache, and a goatee stands in front of a dark background. He is wearing a white collared shirt and a patterned shawl with geometric designs draped over his shoulders. He looks directly at the camera with a calm expression. A man with glasses and a colourful T-shirt sits on the floor, holding a small card, next to a woman with a laptop, both smiling. In front of them is a person dressed in a colourful and elaborate costume with feathers, fabric, and a mask, engaging in what appears to be a theatrical or cultural performance. A man with short white hair, a sand coloured hat and a white shirt stands with palms raised upwards in front of a pink background. He is wearing a white collared shirt. He looks beyond the camera with a dramatic, questioning expression. Two people wearing vibrant costumes with large, colourful feathered headdresses sit in front of a scenic painted backdrop of mountains and a night sky. One person holds a clipboard while appearing to be in thought, and the other is playing a guitar. Both costumes are rich in patterns and textures, creating a festive atmosphere.

Two individuals are seated behind a creative blue balloon sculpture designed to resemble a vehicle, labelled 'DIAMOND' in white letters on the front. A speech bubble-shaped balloon above reads, 'Jump on Board! Tell us your thoughts :)'. The setting appears to be a community or craft space, with tables covered in check cloths and various craft items in the background, including a boxing area with hanging equipment visible. A white tree-shaped display holds several transparent ornaments decorated with colourful designs, such as pom-poms, painted landscapes, and the word 'DREAM' written on one of the globes. The ornaments are part of a craft activity, with art supplies like glue, markers, and felt sheets spread across the table. In the background, a person wearing a coat focuses on their craftwork, contributing to the creative and engaging atmosphere. A silver balloon shaped like a speech bubble displays the handwritten message, 'Jump on Board! Tell us your thoughts :)'.
