Untitled, New York
1997

A weathered photograph of an old theater's marquee, with the reversed and faded text "CLEANERS" visible across the top, suggesting the image is viewed through a window with signage on it. The theater's facade is ornate, with people walking by on the sidewalk in front. The photo has a vintage feel, with scratches and dirt visible on the surface, adding to the aged aesthetic.
