This painting depicts a landscape seen from an elevated viewpoint. In the distance, small hills stretch across the horizon. A wide river winds through the scene, reflecting light. The river is surrounded by wide green fields and trees, and it is crossed by two long bridges. Some of the trees are in the river, and water flows through a field on the left. In the center of the image, below the river, there appears to be slanted red and white text in three groups. The sky above the scene has a gradient from light blue at the top to a minty green near the horizon.

Orange-red and battleship-gray geometric forms are arranged in a loose grid in this vertical, abstract painting. Made entirely of vertical and horizontal lines, the forms are reminiscent of letters or hieroglyphs. Sometimes the red forms seem to float in front of a gray background, but then the contrast will flip so the gray comes forward, creating a subtle optical illusion.

Twenty-one, free-standing, bronze sculptures of headless people are arranged under the green canopies of trees in this horizontal photograph. The earth-brown surfaces of the sculptures are rough. In this view, they cluster together at various distances from each other, and the bodies of all are angled to our right. They stand erect with their legs together and arms pressed tightly along their sides. From this angle, one person is positioned farther from the rest, to our left. Each person stands on a square base that sits on the ground, which appears to be fine mulch or pine needles. Six trees are spaced around the group, and together their canopies fill the top third of this photograph. Beyond the trees is a low, green hedge that encloses the whole group. Sunlight illuminates the front, right-hand surfaces of the sculptures.
