Black Eye
1991, printed 1993

A black and white photograph of a young girl with her eyes closed, appearing to be asleep, sitting in a striped armchair. Her hair is long and wavy, partially covering her face, and she is wearing a vintage dress with a lace collar. The image conveys a sense of peacefulness and nostalgia.
