Collage of three images with torn paper edges. The first shows a young man reading a book, smiling, wearing a gray cardigan and white shirt. The second shows two women lying on the floor inside a heart-shaped paper frame, laughing and smiling, one with curly hair in a rust-colored top, the other with an afro hair in orange. The third shows a group of five friends taking a selfie on the street, smiling and making gestures, two men and three women, one holding a smartphone, in a city setting.
