  • Three men are seated on plastic white chairs, while another three men can be seen lying on the floor in different positions. Each man in the chairs has a different posture. One is leaning back in his chair, with his ankles crossed, while his right arm is bent to cradle his head. He has short dark hair and is dressed in a gray t-shirt, dark green shorts, and black boots. Another man is seated in his chair with his elbows resting on his knees. He has removed his royal blue shirt; it rests on his lap. He wears light blue jeans. He wears white socks, and he rests his feet slightly on his shoes. The third man sits in his chair with his legs extended before him. He wears a gray button-down shirt that he wears completely undone. He has blue jeans and tan work boots on. On his lap rests a dark-colored bundle. The men lying on the floor are similarly attired to the men in the chairs. Behind the men, we can see a rose-colored wall. The lower portion of a large sculpture of the crucifixion can be seen. The floor appears to be concrete that has a light green-gray color.

    Who is Dayani Cristal?

  • A graphic image in shades of beige, gray, black, and red featuring the image of a woman. She has dark hair that is worn off her face and gathered in a bun. Around her neck is draped a large red scarf. In her left hand, she holds a plant in a black planter. Her right hand holds a black coffee up. The viewer's perspective looks upward at the woman, while she gazes out into the distance.

    Connected by Coffee

  • A man with dark curly hair, mustache, and goatee is looking off to his left. He appears to be seated on the ground; he is wearing a white t-shirt that reads "We will not comply" in black block letters. A yellow tube with a silver band appears to house the lower half of his right arm below his elbow. Another man appears to be reaching down towards the man's right arm. The standing man wears gloves in dark green and black. The sleeve of his teacher reads "Sheriff" in green lettering. He appears to wear blue pants. Another figure is positioned behind the seated man. The figure wears light blue pants with cargo pocket. The figure may hold a black baton.

    The State of Arizona

  • A black-and-white image of ten figures - likely all men. The figures are mostly dressed in button-down shirts and pants. A few also wear jackets, while another appears clad in overalls. A number of the men where hats of different kinds: cowboy hats and ones with large brims. The figures are largely in silhouette, so the details of their features are obscured. Six of the figures are seated, while four are standing.
