  • Four women on stage, one in a red dress in the foreground appearing emotional, three women in the background with somber expressions, set against a dark background.
  • A woman with short, curly hair sitting on her knees, illuminated by red light, holding her face with both hands, appearing distressed or surprised.
  • A woman with long reddish hair wearing a red dress, looks directly at the camera with a serious expression. Two children with blond hair and dark clothing are closely clinging to her, each with their face turned away from the camera and hands on her shoulders and neck.
