Five photos are placed side by side. On the left, a picture of Dian Marie Bridge, a black woman in a patterned navy blue shirt, leans her face to the right and smiles at the camera with green leafs and nature seen behind her. Next to her, a picture of Davey Samuel Calderon, a Filipino person wearing a denim shirt, smiles in front of a burgundy background. Next to them, a picture of Santiago Guzmán, a Mexican man wearing a denim jacket and white shirt, smiles outside with a sunset behind him and his curly hair blowing in the wind. Next to him, a picture of Jenna Rodgers, a mixed-race woman in a grey sweater, looks up to the left and is caught mid-laughter in front of a brown background. On the right, a picture of Deneh’Cho, an Indigenous person wearing a navy blue hoodie, smiles in front of a colourful art piece with an Indigenous design.
