Behind Divine is a turquoise background with black-and-white zebra stripes. The word "FILTH" appears in large distressed red block letters across the bottom of the design. The shirt is worn by a tattooed model with neck and arm tattoos.
Rufus, a red + tan Australian kelpie, lies curled up on a timber verandah with Chippy, a long-haired choc, tan + white chihuahua, sitting between his front legs. Both dogs are looking directly at the camera with soft, attentive expressions. Cream-painted veranda railings and green garden plants frame the outdoor moment.

The candle is overflowing with thick, blood-red wax that drips down the sides and pools beneath it. The label reads "THIS SMELLS LIKE APARTHEID", with the brand name "Gwynocide" written in pink-red cursive below. A martini glass sits beside the candle, its olive garnish shaped like grenades. In the foreground, a luxury hotel key tag reads "HERZLIYA SHORES - SUITE 1948". A soft orchids appears in the bottom right background.
2 images. The first shows Brisbane artist James Hillier (Nordacious) seated at a table, painting a hand-made protest sign. He wears a black t-shirt and holds a fine paintbrush over a cardboard placard featuring an illustrated figure. The second image is a black background with white text announcing that James will be one of several plaintiffs in a High Court challenge against the Queensland Government. The statement explains that the constitutional challenge concerns Queensland laws restricting political expression and Palestine solidarity activism, outlines concerns about free political communication and the right to advocate for Palestinian human rights, acknowledges the organisers, fellow plaintiffs and legal team involved, and promotes fundraising efforts including the River to the Sea Fun Run. The statement concludes that Palestinians deserve justice and Australians deserve the freedom to advocate for that justice without fear.
