Description

This photograph showcases a filmstrip featuring an adult woman with curly brown hair. She wears a short-sleeved black button-up shirt and is positioned against a bright white background. In several frames, she is holding a photographic slide directly in front of her eye, framing her gaze through the small square. Other poses include her positioning her fingers to create a square in front of her face, mimicking the slide. The filmstrip format adds a sense of process and documentation to the portrait series. The lighting is bright and even, highlighting the contrast between the woman's dark clothing and the stark white backdrop.
