Black stenciled text on a turquoise tiled wall reads: "IF YOU EVER FEEL HEAVY BECAUSE YOU CARE DEEPLY ABOUT INJUSTICE, SUFFERING AND ECOLOGICAL DESTRUCTION, REMEMBER THAT A TRILLION DOLLAR PROPAGANDA MACHINE WAS BUILT TO MAKE YOU NUMB AND IT DIDN'T WORK ON YOU"

A white sidewalk letterboard sign on a black stand, between two wooden planters, with black letters reading: "SCARED IS WHAT YOU ARE FEELING. BRAVE IS WHAT YOU ARE DOING." A red heart sits below the text. A street and a parked blue car are behind it. Orange spray-painted graffiti on a cracked, peeling wall in an abandoned building, beside a dark doorway. A cat-like face with spiral eyes and an X nose is drawn above the text: "AT THE END OF EVERYTHING HOLD ON TO ANYTHING". Faint black scrawl inside the doorway reads "hes here". Cartoon illustration of a red pyramid-shaped metronome with its pendulum arm swinging, red arrows showing motion. Text on the left reads "a better world is possible". Text on the right reads "we're so fucked". The base of the metronome is labeled "me". A white square sign mounted on a pinkish granite wall, with a blue sky and tall apartment buildings behind it. The sign reads: "IT'S OKAY TO BE SAD AFTER MAKING THE RIGHT DECISION." At night, a hooded figure in dark clothing crouches in front of a weathered street mural, holding a flaming object that casts an orange glow. The mural, splattered with red paint and white graffiti, reads in black capital letters: "THERE WAS NEVER A GOOD WAR OR A BAD PEACE". Quote graphic with a gray watercolor city skyline behind a pale box of black text: "I see men assassinated around me every day. I walk through rooms of the dead, streets of the dead, cities of the dead; men without eyes, men without voices; men with manufactured feelings and standard reactions; men with newspaper brains, television souls and high school ideas." Attributed to Charles Bukowski.
