Artist, American, born 1949

The image shows a room with a broken window overlooking the ocean. The horizon is visible through the upper part of the frame, separating the sky from the sea. The sky has soft shades of pink and gray. The ocean appears calm with gentle waves. Inside the room, frayed curtains are drawn to the sides, and broken glass is missing from the window. The room's color palette consists of muted tones like beige and brown, which blend with the natural tones outside. The broken window and worn curtains suggest abandonment or disrepair.
