Dean of Focus

Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts; May 21, 2024

A person in a red graduation gown and cap holds a smartphone in front of their face, likely taking a photo. The background is blurred, showing other graduates in similar attire, suggesting a graduation ceremony. The lighting is bright, possibly from overhead lights, creating a festive atmosphere. The focus is on the smartphone and the person's hands, with the rest of the scene softly out of focus.
