  2. Two middle-aged adults stand facing each other on a bridge over an Amsterdam canal, holding hands. The man wears a dark grey coat and scarf; the woman wears a teal coat with a plaid burgundy scarf. In the background, a historic clock tower rises above tree-lined canal banks flanked by traditional Dutch brick buildings, with boats and bicycles visible along the waterway.

  3. A woman with blonde hair (Jessie Buckley) lies unconscious on a flat surface, wearing a gold metallic top and a voluminous orange skirt. Metallic tubes and cables are attached to her torso, spreading outward like mechanical tendrils. Two large spherical devices flank her on either side. The background is filled with a tangle of wires and cables in a dimly lit, industrial setting. The image has a dramatic gothic aesthetic.
