Beauty Salon Birthday Party, Evanston, Illinois
1991, printed 2003

A group of children seated around a table at a birthday party in a brightly lit room with pink and purple balloons. A large poster of a young man's face hangs on the window, and an adult woman stands in the background. The table is covered with party plates, cups, and remnants of a birthday cake. The atmosphere suggests a celebration in progress.
