New York 1987

"New York" (1987), a black and white photograph by Rosalind Solomon, captures a young man seated in a small, cluttered room. The image focuses on the man's solitude and his connection to the outside world through the window and television. Solomon, known for her intimate portraits of marginalized communities, uses documentary-style photography to explore themes of social isolation and urban life in 1980s New York. The photograph's composition, with its focus on the man's contemplative gaze and the details of his surroundings, invites viewers to reflect on the complexities of everyday existence.
