Vicky, Mission, Texas
1990

Black and white photograph of a person lying on a worn-out couch with exposed stuffing, in a relaxed pose with one arm draped over their forehead and one leg propped up against the back of the couch. Sunlight filters into the room, casting shadows on the wall and couch. The scene suggests a moment of rest in a dilapidated interior setting.
