The carousel at Pier 39 in San Francisco, distorted with flattened colors overwritten by the words "Rome Burned Too." Meant to be a comment on the cycles of empire and current state of America.

Blurred image of a woman clutching a black satchel with reflections in a window all in muted colors, accompanied by the words "In a long enough timeline all who've disagreed become antifia." Meant to be a comment about how political parties will eventually try to make enemies of anyone who disagrees going so far as to label them part of some nebulous organization.
