Tom Moran, Boston, Massachusetts
1988

A black and white photograph of a person lying on a hospital bed with their eyes closed, appearing to be asleep or resting. The individual has a serene expression, and sunlight is casting shadows across the scene. The background is slightly out of focus, featuring a rocking chair and a doorway in a seemingly quiet room.
