In the foreground, a heap of folded tarps: blue and cyan and green and silver, at a student protest encampment. In the background, the brick buildings of Harvard Yard.

A cork board is covered in small, handwritten messages and other ephemera. There are packets of watermelon seeds, a crocheted half watermelon, several illustrations, and a small cloth sign that "Baby Abdul" should "rest in power".

An old plastic water jug sits on the steps of Harvard's University Hall, beside a student protest encampment. Inside it are cut flowers, and a Palestinian flag.
