Gorjus
1989

A black and white photograph capturing a candid moment with two young girls in light dresses standing near the open tailgate of an old pickup truck with a Virginia license plate reading "C0R JUS." One girl is whispering into the other's ear. Various items, including a doll, a mirror, and what appears to be trash, are scattered on the ground. A dog is seen on the right, seemingly barking or yawning. The setting suggests a rural or suburban area with trees and sunlight filtering through the foliage.
