Nora's Bedroom
1995

A black and white photograph displaying a densely packed collection of various objects including dolls, figurines, photographs, and paintings. The items are arranged on shelves and the wall, creating a cluttered and eclectic display. Some of the notable objects include a large doll head, a figurine of a boy with a big smile, and several framed pictures of people. The overall impression is one of a personal and nostalgic assemblage.
