Untitled
1981

A black and white photograph capturing a young girl standing on a sidewalk, looking directly at the camera, with a woman beside her partially cropped out of the frame, holding a large bag and a folded newspaper. The background shows a parking lot with cars and a structure that appears to be part of an airport or a similar transportation hub. The image has a white border, suggesting it may be a print or a polaroid.
