Two people stand on a sandy Arctic shoreline with patches of snow and rocky hills in the background. They are dressed in cold-weather clothing and matching yellow pinnies over purple outerwear. The adult wears fur-trimmed mitts and a fur-lined hood, while the child wears round sunglasses, a yellow toque and a fur-trimmed collar.

A Black man and a white woman stand facing each other in a breakroom, appearing to be in the middle of an intense conversation. The man, wearing a tan hoodie, looks directly at the woman, while she, dressed in a muted pink dress, looks back at him with a calm but focused expression. Behind them, a counter holds mugs, tea supplies, and a kettle, with colorful abstract artwork hanging on a bright blue wall.
