Each of these five objects is decorated with the same stylised illustration of a man’s head and shoulders. The man is wearing a hoodie that casts a shadow across his face, obscuring everything except his beard.

1.A cardboard banker’s box with the stylized illustration of the hooded, bearded man printed on the sides.

2.A pair of white pants decorated with stenciled images of the hooded, bearded man.

3.A vertical rectangular print of the hooded, bearded man.

4.A shiny white coffee mug decorated with the illustration of the hooded, bearded man. The inside of the mug is black.

5.Two identical horizontal prints of the hooded, bearded man.

There is a sixth photograph of a man wearing the stenciled pants and striking a pose for the camera.
