Posted January 31, 2023 by Kristina Schulz

In this photograph, a person with tan-painted fingernails holds a yellow cardboard file box filled with office supplies. Only the person’s midbody is in the frame, wearing a long-sleeved white shirt and black slacks. The box is rested on the edge of a dark wood table. The box contents include writing utensils in a mesh cup, a calculator, notebooks, folders, and a potted plant. Next to the table is a large potted plant in front of a window covered with blinds. Atop the table is an envelope that presumably contains a resignation letter.
