Old Paint, Ancient Light

This piece includes three photographs showing the progress of a sunflower. The first, in the top left corner, is of dirt with a tiny, green sprout with two leaves. Directly under the sprout reads “15 APR 2021”. Underneath that photo is a photo of another plant. This one is a close-up photo of green leaves all circling towards the center in which there is a little bud. The top corner of this photograph reads “26 JUL 2021.” The final photo is a vertical photograph spanning the whole right side. It is of a sunflower, facing the camera, with a brick building in the background.

A photograph of a person reading in the bathtub. In the bottom half of the photo is the book. Towards the top of the photograph is the silver faucet with a pink loofah hanging off of it. In between the book and the faucet are bubbles. The middle of the photo reads “Quarantine zen” with an emoji of a person with a towel on their head.

A photograph of a person holding a protest sign. An arm extends from the bottom left corner holding a sign that reads “FREE PALESTINE”. The word ‘free’ is written in black and ‘Palestine’ in alternating green and red. In the background is a building and in front of the building is a crowd of protesters, most holding signs that say free Palestine or something similar.

A close-up photograph of a flower. The flower has five white petals and a yellow center. The petals are leaning back, away from the center of the flower. The pistil sticks out and surrounding it are about a dozen stamen. On the petals, above the center of the flower is the shadow of a fern. The background is mostly black with a few splotches of green suggesting stems and leaves.
