  1. A man is holding what appears to be a bouquet of yellow flowers (possibly daffodils or similar spring flowers with some purple accents). They're wearing a dark jacket over what looks like a graphic t-shirt, and they appear to be smiling while addressing an audience seated in front of the stage. The setting looks like it could be a school auditorium or community center, with golden curtains in the background and wooden paneling visible.
