Source terms

Composition

  • centered text blocks
  • background figures scattered across frame

Dense Caption

The icon is a static, pixelated digital image. Four black rectangular blocks contain white sans-serif text: 'what' at the top, 'i' in the middle-left, 'live' below it, and 'for!' at the bottom. The background consists of blurred, indistinct figures with visible blue clothing on one figure, brown terrain, and a light sky. Pixelation obscures fine details but suggests multiple human forms in motion against an outdoor setting.
