A black-and-white archival photograph of Destini Riley making early animations for her short film, I, Destini. Destini, wearing a sweater and pants, looks intently at an Apple computer as she holds a stylus in her proper right hand. Two explorers on the computer screen look through binoculars. Also on the desk in front of her are multiple empty food bowls, a pair of headphones, a keyboard, and a trackpad. Behind her an ornamental Christmas tree is partially visible.
