Woman Looking Out from Train, West Texas
[ Artwork description: An up-close photograph of a black woman sits by the window of a moving train. Only the right side of her face is visible to the viewer. She looks through the glass, with a pensive gaze, as if she were more aware of her own thoughts rather than the blurry desertic view in front of her, caused by the fast-moving train. She appears in a tranquil setting as she is sitting comfortably wearing a black bonnet and neck pillow supporting her head, creating a serene moment amidst the train’s motion. ]
