"Untitled #96" (1981) is a self-portrait by Cindy Sherman, known for her exploration of identity and the female gaze. Sherman, dressed in a gingham skirt and a simple orange top, lies on a patterned tiled floor, her gaze directed towards the viewer with a sense of vulnerability. The photograph, part of her iconic "Film Stills" series, mimics the aesthetics of Hollywood film stills from the 1950s and 1960s, questioning the construction of female characters and the role of women in society.
