This image features a powerful and striking figure, a person dressed in a bold, geometric-patterned outfit, standing confidently with the text "WORDS Matter" prominently displayed. Surrounding the figure are various small cut-out images, including an arm holding a light bulb and a figure in a dynamic pose, adding to the theme of ideas and action. At the bottom of the image, there is a block of text that reads: "Histories should not rest in peace—and neither should language. If we're engaging with history, if we're engaging with one another, then our understandings of the past and of one another are not static. The stories we tell ourselves about who we are and the words we use to tell them need to be revised, to be interrogated and called into question, because otherwise they become worn out and there is a kind of ignorance in continuing to tell and use them."
This image features a large, stylized heart with a maze-like pattern, pierced by a blue arrow. Across the heart, the text "CRAFTING the FUTURE" is prominently displayed, suggesting a focus on actively shaping what lies ahead. Below the heart, there is a vibrant, abstract illustration of several people engaging with each other, expressing ideas through speech bubbles—one with a fist symbol and another with a heart—indicating themes of solidarity, love, and collective effort. The overall message appears to emphasize collaboration, creativity, and intentional action in building a better future.

The central theme is captured by the text "THE WONDER OF LOVE," suggesting that love is a powerful and transformative force, capable of shaping narratives and memories. The imagery and text together evoke a sense of wonder and the deep, complex nature of love.
This vibrant and abstract image is filled with bold, colorful shapes and symbols, including hearts, circles, and the numbers "2" and "3."

The image shows a wall with a series of colorful, blocky text pieces arranged in a patchwork style, spelling out the message: "AMERICAN HISTORY IS LARGER LONGER MORE BEAUTIFUL AND MORE TERRIBLE THAN ANYTHING ANYONE HAS EVER SAID ABOUT IT." Below the text, a handbag with a floral pattern hangs from the wall. The overall effect is beautiful and thought-provoking, creating a powerful statement about the complexity of American history.

The collage blends architectural elements with the human figure to convey the idea of how environments and memories shape our understanding and experiences.
