José Cumba under the boiler where rags are bleached at Parsons Paper Company, Holyoke, Massachusetts
1990

A black and white photograph of a man standing in an industrial setting with a large pile of a cotton-like substance around him. He is wearing a patterned shirt, pants covered in the substance, and a protective mask on his head. There are shovels and a wheelbarrow nearby, suggesting manual labor. The environment looks dusty and there's another person visible in the background.
