A Couple on Vacation
![A 3D collage made with magazine clippings shows a man and a woman smiling and holding hands. The man is white and has short, balding, gray hair and is wearing a pair of green, square line patterned swim shorts. The woman is white and has short, white hair and is wearing a black bathing suit with white swirl patterns. They are walking barefoot in the sand along the shore of a lake. Also along the shore of the lake is a snowbank with six penguins looking out at the lake. On the horizon line on the other side of the lake are houses. The sky shows that the sun is setting.](http://avid.scrippsoma.xyz/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/12/Theater10-720x556.jpg)
