  1. Two formally dressed people stand at a bar or high table in an elegant, dimly lit venue. The man on the left wears a black tuxedo and looks upward with a serious expression. The woman beside him wears a sparkling teal/emerald sequined dress and glances sideways with a wary look. On the table in front of them are cocktails and a glass vase with pink lilies. Other guests are visible in the blurred background.

  2. Two young men are sitting against a concrete wall outdoors. The one on the left wears a faded green t-shirt and jeans, with bandaged hands, and appears to be speaking. The one on the right wears an orange and white sleeveless top and light-coloured trousers, his fist raised, looking pensive. The scene has a gritty, naturalistic feel.

One white sheep is on the left, a brown/rust-coloured sheep on the right, and a golden-fleeced sheep hangs upside down from the top centre, all looking directly into the lens.
