Cindy Sherman

Untitled #146
1985

A surreal and artistic depiction of a seated figure with exaggerated facial features and a draped garment. The background suggests a cosmic setting with star-like speckles, and a transparent geometric shape floats to the left. A clear spherical object with smaller spheres inside rests on the ground to the right of the figure. The overall tone is dark with warm lighting accentuating the figure's form.
