Discord - Art Exam Theme

This is quite a personal post, because I'm unsure whether this is a national theme, a district theme, or a world-wide theme. But it's my exam project for Photography this year, as well as all the art subjects, and I'm completely stuck on it. Not one clue as to what to do. So if this helps just one person, I know the purpose of this blog is working.
