Untitled (Orphan)
n.d., printed 1994

A black and white photograph featuring a checkered floor with alternating black and white tiles. On the floor lies a rectangular object with the word "ORPHAN" inscribed on it. The object appears to be a nameplate or label, and it is centered in the frame, creating a stark contrast with the geometric pattern of the tiles.
