Boston (Three weeks after her operation, Sharon and her young friend celebrate with some ice cream.) 1999

"Boston (Three weeks after her operation, Sharon and her young friend celebrate with some ice cream.)" is a black and white photograph by Betsy Karel, taken in 1999. The image captures a tender moment between two women in a dimly lit setting. The composition focuses on the close embrace of the two figures, their faces obscured by the darkness, suggesting a sense of intimacy and support. This photograph is a poignant example of Karel's work, which often explores themes of human connection, vulnerability, and the power of friendship in the face of adversity.
