Two Towels 2004

"Two Towels" (2004) by Alec Soth is a color photograph depicting two white towels folded into the shape of swans on a bed in a motel room. The image captures the mundane and often overlooked details of everyday life, a hallmark of Soth's photographic style. The photograph, characteristic of his series "Sleeping by the Mississippi," evokes a sense of solitude and introspection, capturing the quiet moments of a solitary traveler.
