A portrait of Audrey Tang in semi-formal clothing (a dark blue shirt and near-black suit), leaning on a window frame and looking relaxed. Tang is standing next to a dark green leafy plant, and the window is painted dark brown at the corner of a room with whitewashed walls, a mix between modernity, tradition, and nature. Behind Tang, outside, there is more foliage.

A collage of three photographs of mentors and students at work. In two of them, someone is seen through a glass pane and is writing on the pane with a whiteboard pen. In one of these two photos someone else is partially visible sitting at a table in the room with a laptop, watching the writer. In the third photo, someone is presenting two coloured parameter graphs of prey death and growth rates under two models, and whether a population is divergent, dies out, or is stable. They are at a projector, and two people are visible watching from a table with closed laptops, taken from a perspective as if the camera is held by one of the viewers.
