This image consists of a triptych format, with three distinct photographs arranged vertically. The top photograph features a dynamic ocean scene with turbulent greenish water and foamy white waves, giving the impression of a strong current or churning sea. Beyond the water's edge, there seems to be a concrete structure, perhaps a quay or sea wall, that serves as the transition to the next photograph. The middle photograph displays a worn and textured surface that appears to be a close-up of the same concrete structure seen at the edge of the ocean above. It is marked with the passage of time or exposure to elements, exhibiting stains, grime, and perhaps the shadows of railings or barriers that once stood there. The bottom photograph shows a group of individuals from behind, each wearing white attire which resembles religious or spiritual clothing. Their outfits are possibly habits typically worn by nuns. The individuals are gazing at something out of frame and are partly enveloped by a hazy, misty atmosphere that merges with the white of their clothing, creating a serene and contemplative mood. The three photographs combined may suggest themes of nature's power, the passage of time, and human spirituality or contemplation. The image bears a signature and date indicating it's an artwork, possibly by Taryn Simon from 2013, 2014.

The image consists of two parts. The top portion shows a dynamic, swirling body of water, with dark, choppy waves crashing against a rocky shore or cliff face. The water appears turbulent and powerful, conveying a sense of the raw, untamed nature of the ocean. The bottom portion of the image depicts several individuals wearing long, flowing white garments that cover their heads and bodies, obscuring their features. They appear to be standing or moving together, their forms blending together in a hazy, ethereal manner. This part of the image has a more contemplative, almost mystical quality in contrast with the tumultuous seascape above. The combination of the natural, elemental landscape above and the veiled, shrouded figures below creates an intriguing juxtaposition, suggesting themes of the human experience in relation to the vastness and power of the natural world.
