Cropped digital illustration by inkythoughts art for the We've Always Been Here Zine that both are credited on the bottom right corner as a watermark. The foreground shows a vase with white lilies, symbolising lesbians in East-Asia, standing on a small table that also holds a binyeo (hair pin) and garakji (two rings), both signs of married women in the Joseon period. The midground features a married couple in Joseon-era hanbok with the wife leaning down to kiss her partner on the cheek, cradling their head tenderly. Her partner is dressed in men's clothing and hairdo with a light pink and blue colour scheme in reference to the trans flag while she is in women's attire in yellow and red, referencing the lesbian flag. They sit in front of a cosmetics chest with a mirror that shows two both in women's attire embracing each other and the leaning wife still happily kissing the other on the cheek. The chest stands in front of an open window showing the silhouette of trees against a sunset sky.
