Colorado 2010

"Colorado" (2010) is a photograph by Richard Ross, an American photographer born in 1947. It shows a group of young men, likely inmates at a juvenile detention center, standing in a line facing a guard. Their bright yellow jumpsuits and the yellow markings on the floor create a stark visual contrast, emphasizing the stark reality of confinement. Ross’ work often examines the lives of young people in institutional settings, raising questions about the justice system and the treatment of marginalized youth.
