Untitled (Window in Snow)

Label

The brightness of the light in the window draws our attention. When looking closely, we can see snow that has fallen and rests on the glass, but the precise distinction between snow and light is difficult to determine. The snow, blue hue, and small scale of the work encourage a sense of quiet and intimacy. The photograph includes a small portion of a room with an empty chair and no discernable shapes outside the window. Since there is no figure, the strongest presence is the light itself.
