Jaws Stone art. Two women dressed in comfy yet practical clothes are tenderly holding each other while boring softly in each other’s eyes. The sky behind them has an orange hue a la Blade Runner 2049 reminescent of the light getting through dense pollutionEmilia Strilchuk exclusive print. Two women are sitting atop the remains of a futuristic looking car in front of a destroyed building from which some seedlings, moss, and vegetation can be seen growing again. One of the women is leaning onto the other as if to give her comfort. Art by Fell Hound. Two women (Sasha and Leora) holding hands in a field of flowers and tall grass. The sky is a bright blue with clouds shuffling by. Sasha is wearing a bomber jacket, cropped too and jeans while Leora is wearing her one suit tied at her waist with a sports bra. Sasha is replacing a strand of hair behind her ear while looking softly and reflectively at Leora.Art by Emily Schnall. Two women embracing each other lovingly while about to kiss. One is looking into the other’s eyes intensely mesmerized as she dips to close the gap and capture her lips.
