Untitled (woman feeding bird)
1990

A black and white photograph depicting a surreal scene with a woman standing at a dining table, her head replaced by the glow of a large pendant lamp hanging above. To her left, there's a birdcage on a stand with a small bird inside, positioned near a vent on the wall. The room features a wooden chair, a closed door, and a plain wall, creating a stark, minimalist atmosphere.
