Four people stand in a kitchen with an orange wall, two children and two adults, seen from behind, engaged in conversation or activity.
A woman with a light-colored headband, dark hair in a ponytail, and wearing a light-colored shirt, looks to her right with a thoughtful expression.
A man and woman stand side by side with their heads bowed in prayer or reflection inside a warmly lit room with teal walls, a window, and various personal items on the nearby shelves.
Two children, one girl with curly hair standing and a girl with long straight hair squatting, in front of a weathered wall with peeling paint and a decorative brick wall.
