Coffee Can Wreath, New Orleans
1989

A weathered gravestone with the inscription "IN MEMORY OF" stands in a grassy area with scattered pebbles. In front of it, a rusty tin can holds artificial flowers and greenery, with a loop of rusted metal arching over the arrangement. The scene is illuminated by soft sunlight, casting gentle shadows on the ground.
