Untitled
n.d.

A black and white photograph of a young child standing in a wooded area. The child is positioned in front of a large tree trunk that obscures part of their body, creating a visual illusion as if they are emerging from the shadow of the tree. The child is wearing a sleeveless top and shorts, and has a neutral expression on their face. The surrounding area is dappled with sunlight filtering through the trees.
