- Description
- A gelatin silver print depicting two individuals in two rooms of a house. On the right side is a young woman, the photographer LaToya Ruby Frazier, sitting on a bed and leaning against the wall. She is in profile to the viewer, wearing a white tank and plaid shorts. Her hands are resting in her lap and she gazes straight ahead. There is a baby doll underneath the bed where she is sitting, and a white towel hangs from the doorknob of the open door next to her. On the other side of the wall and the image is the figure of a man, "Mr. Art." His back is to the viewer as he leans on his left elbow atop a bed with floral-patterned bedding. He wears a black tank top with white text graphic. Both of the bedrooms are bright white, divided by the dark door and doorframes between them at the center of the image. There are no marks or inscriptions, front or back.
