Revolution Evolution
On a white background, a hyperrealistic black and white protest scene is presented. A crowd of masked people tear down a fence, while one raises a flag that reads "Black Lives Matter". In an outline of green clouds to the viewer's left, the words "Revolution Evolution" can be seen.

George Floyd Matters
On a black background, a hyperrealistic color portrait of George Floyd. His sweatshirt is covered with abstract paint smears blending together in shades of red, white and blue. Floyd's face and hair are outlined with sketchy black streaks. Overlaid across the foreground are a series of text. Discernible in white across Floyd's face is a quote by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” Overlaid above that, in the background, is the same quotation in blue. A final layer reads "walk with hate // love" with hate crossed out, so that only love remains. "George Floyd Matters" is written faintly above Floyd's head and the artist's signature "So Many Possibilities" is visible below.

Justice // George Floyd
The word "Justice" is spelled out, fully capitalized, across a series of windows (covered in plywood). Between the letters S and T, a partial portrait of George Floyd's mid-face, featuring his eyes and eyebrows, is painted in black and white. The rendering places particular emphasis on the highlights in his eyes themselves, creating a more solemn and emotional image, as if he was crying.

Take A Look At Yourself
A black-and-white portrait of George Floyd on plywood outside of a business. The portrait is stylized to be more abstract and haunting than hyperrealistic, but because it is such a recognizable photo Floyd is easily identified. His black hooded sweatshirt is replaced with the motif of the United States American flag. The words "TAKE A LOOK AT YOURSELF" are written beneath the portrait with spray paint.
