Hundreds of identical Santa Claus figures occupy the floor of Consignment Store in Portland's Sellwood neighborhood, creating Chris Willis's surreal annual art installation. The ceramic or plastic Santas are arranged in precise rows on wire shelving, their jolly faces creating an unsettling sea of mass-produced Christmas cheer. Gallery windows reflect the quiet street outside, where a silver SUV and storefronts hint at the ordinary world beyond this dreamlike tableau of holiday multiplication.

Floor-to-ceiling magazine racks create narrow corridors lined with hundreds of titles, from fashion glossies to niche periodicals, while harsh fluorescent lighting illuminates the densely packed space. Stacks of fresh magazines and newspapers sprawl across every available surface, creating a labyrinthine environment that speaks to the enduring appetite for print media in Manhattan's cultural heart.

A quirky antique or thrift store window display in Vernonia, Oregon, photographed through the glass with the sunny small-town street reflected in it. The display features several vintage child mannequins posed on and around a red mini motorcycle with an American flag-patterned fairing. A female adult mannequin in a teal 1920s-style dress and white cap pushes a vintage metal shopping cart with a child mannequin seated in it. A small vintage tricycle sits to the right. The main street of Vernonia, including a green lamppost, utility poles, and storefronts, is visible in the reflection.
