A photograph of a bearded man with long dark dreadlocks, a small red flower in his hair, and a bare upper torso draped in a rust-red cloth, embracing a second man from behind who rests his head against his chest. They sit amid stacked wooden planks and timber in a workshop, with a bright orange cloth and plastic containers behind them. The bearded man's eyes are closed and he smiles warmly.

A photograph of two men in a warm embrace in a storage area beside stacked timber planks and stone blocks. The man on the left has long, dark, matted locks with a red flower tucked above his forehead, a full beard, white ash marks on his forehead, and a bare chest draped with an orange-saffron cloth. He is smiling with eyes closed. The man on the right, partly visible, has his arms around him and wears an orange garment. Behind them are a yellow sack, an orange cloth draped over wood and blue material on the left. Two people are visible, and the scene shows an affectionate greeting.
