Screen mounted on white wall, showing a still of a video. The image is of a landscape with green plants and water, and within the landscape there is a projector showing an image, pink-hued, of people in a slight, wooden boat with the words "JAMAICA Jamaica Tourist Board" over the image.

Woman's face emerges from collage of textiles in varying textures and colors, including fabric showing a comic-book style "OMG!!!!," gold chains, and a cat's eyes. Towards the bottom of the image a piece of fabric reads "Carpe Diem."

Disarming Cuteness: To Be In Power

Bright, warm yellow painting of a grand ballroom, supported by Greek classic pillars and filigreed chandeliers suspended by the high, domed ceilings. The hardwood floor is filled with an array of tea tables, garden chairs, and sofas, and adorned by a collection of classic, framed paintings within the painting.
