Zuma # 3
1977

A weathered window frame with broken panes overlooks a calm sea. Tattered curtains hang loosely, one swaying outside the frame, while the other drapes inward. A wooden crossbar bisects the window horizontally, and a shard of glass stands precariously upright on the sill, reflecting the boundary between the indoor decay and the serene outdoor seascape.
