Untitled
1975

A black and white photograph featuring a high-contrast silhouette of a person facing away, with a distinct white outline against a dark background. The person appears to be standing in front of a framed picture or mirror, with the top corner of the frame visible in the upper left. The silhouette is featureless, creating an abstract and mysterious composition.
