Untitled
1971–1976

A black and white photograph featuring a quirky roadside attraction sign that reads "REPTILES" with an arrow pointing to the right, accompanied by a large, stylized sculpture of a snake with its mouth open, as if it's about to strike. The snake sculpture is mounted on a pole, giving the impression that it is slithering upwards.
