Untitled (Flowers, Italy)
1976

A black and white photograph depicting a weathered stone wall with a small religious icon set into a circular niche. Below the icon, a vertical stain runs down the wall, leading to a pedestal with a vase of flowers on top, placed off-center to the right. The textures of the wall and the pedestal are pronounced, suggesting age and exposure to the elements.
