New York 1987

Rosalind Solomon's 1987 photograph "New York" captures a young, shirtless man in a boxing stance. The image, printed in black and white, creates a stark contrast between the figure and his surroundings. The composition places the subject in the center, filling most of the frame, while a bicycle and a cluttered bedroom in the background provide context. Solomon's work often explores themes of masculinity, urban life, and social issues, and "New York" embodies these themes through its intimate portrayal of an individual within a specific context.
