An African-American couple engaged in a tender waltz. The man, with a full beard, and the woman, with long curly black hair, are shown in close proximity, their facial expressions conveying deep connection. The upper half of their bodies is the focal point against a romantic pink to grey ombre background. The warm lighting accentuates their features and the woman's hair texture.

Fractured Waltz

A Caucasian woman with brown hair style in a body wave style, is sitting in the driver seat of a car. She is wearing subtle clown makeup and has a red shirt on with a black blazer coat over the shirt. She is smiling slightly with a smirk but she doesn't look happy, she looks pissed and her smile looks artificial. The background of the car looks a little eerie with silhouettes of two cats sitting behind her and a dim light shining behind the cats and also glowing through their eyes. The image has a thriller vibe.

Truth Unveiled

An African-American woman wearing a white sun dress and a brown afro is sitting criss-cross applesauce style with her back to the camera as she gazes at a beutiful scenic view.
