Self-portrait in window, Saint George, Utah 1953

Dorothea Lange's "Self-portrait in window, Saint George, Utah" (1953) is a striking photograph that captures a sense of solitude and reflection. Lange, renowned for her documentary photography, has used a simple window frame as a powerful symbol. The subject's absence is emphasized by the empty space within the window, while the rough texture of the brick wall and the weathered window frame contribute to the melancholic mood. The use of black and white film amplifies the sense of timelessness and starkness in this poignant self-portrait.
