Untitled
1970–1974

A black and white nighttime photo of a single-story house with a lit window where two people appear to be sitting at a table. In the foreground, there's a parked car with a visible nameplate, partially illuminated by the house's light. The scene is quiet and still, with a stark contrast between the darkness of the night and the brightness of the window.
