Roommate in the Kitchen, Boston
1972

A black and white photograph of a woman standing with one arm raised behind her head, wearing a sleeveless dress. She is looking directly at the camera with a neutral expression. In the background, there is a framed picture of another person on the wall. The image has a grainy texture, suggesting it may be a film photograph or intentionally styled to appear vintage.
