New York 1987

"New York" (1987) is a black and white photograph by American artist Rosalind Solomon. The work depicts a young man lying in a hospital bed, his face illuminated by natural light. Solomon's powerful portrayal of vulnerability and the human condition is captured through the subject's gaze and the stark contrast between his tattooed body and the crisp white sheets. The work explores themes of illness, identity, and spirituality, and has been recognized for its intimate and unflinching portrayal of human existence.
