A realistic portrait of a young person is painted on a textured, off-white wall covered in layers of faded stickers and graffiti. The portrait depicts a person with light skin, curly brown hair, and striking blue eyes. They are wearing a teal-colored t-shirt, and the painting style appears to be street art with a focus on detail in the face. The background around the portrait is a chaotic mix of sticker remnants and spray paint markings, suggesting an urban environment. The image appears to be a mural or a piece of public art.
There is a faint "ENE2" to the left, and "MO" can be seen in red letters lower down.

The person has dark eyes and dark, thinning hair that frames the face. Around the neck are multiple strands of white and dark beaded necklaces. The text “NÔ” is visible in the top-right corner of the mural, written in a stylized font.

in reply to Jon Pinter • • •A wide, landscape photograph depicts a dark, silhouetted shoreline against a vibrant, fiery red and orange sky. The sky is dominated by a bright, central glow emanating from the horizon, with radiating lines of light extending outwards and upward. Above the horizon, dense, uneven cloud formations are visible, also illuminated in shades of red and orange. Below the horizon, a dark, uneven shoreline is visible, with what appear to be several vertical posts rising from the water. The water in the foreground reflects the colors of the sky, creating a mirrored effect with distorted shapes of light.
