Ellis Island 46 Possibly 1988 - 1989

"Ellis Island 46" is a black and white photograph by Japanese photographer Madoka Takagi, taken sometime between 1988 and 1989. The photograph captures the interior of a derelict building on Ellis Island, with a row of windows casting long shadows across the dusty floor. The image evokes a sense of time and history, while the light and shadows create a powerful composition. This work is a prime example of Takagi's focus on documenting the transformation of urban spaces.
