Sketch #5
2003–2004

Black and white photograph depicting a person seated next to a telescope on a rooftop at night, with blurred motion suggesting the person is moving. The rooftop features a chimney and the silhouette of trees and houses against the night sky in the background. There's a faint shadow of another person on the right side of the image.
