Untitled
n.d.

A black and white photograph depicting a young child sitting in a dimly lit room, wearing a hooded sweatshirt. The child is looking downward with a contemplative or somber expression. Light streams in through a window with a visible cobweb, casting a bright rectangle on the opposite wall and partially illuminating the child's face. The room appears aged, with peeling wallpaper and a draped cloth or garment hanging to the left. The image conveys a sense of stillness and introspection.
