A flat-screen monitor displays a video conference grid of remote participants from multiple locations. Tiles show people seated in homes and rooms: a woman in a blue top at upper left, a group in a living room with a framed picture, a man in white at top centre, and several participants in colourful domestic settings, one with an altar of flowers and offerings. Labels read Scottsdale, Thirukovilur, Slovakia Koshitza, San Diego Carmel Valley, Monterrey-Mexico, Sun Prairie Wisconsin, Joan Alicante Spain, Dubai and Hyderabad Sri. A blurred white flower appears in the lower right of the screen. The monitor is mounted on a black frame in front of a white wall.
