Untitled
1971–1976

A black and white photograph depicting an old, dilapidated truck stop with a large, vintage billboard above it. The billboard features a three-dimensional truck and trailer model and advertises a 24-hour cafe and fuel. The words "WELCOME TRUCK STOP" are visible on the sign, which towers over the abandoned building below. The surrounding landscape is barren and the sky is clear.
