Artist, American, born 1953

The image shows the back of a person's upper body, specifically from the shoulders upwards. They are facing away from the camera, standing in what appears to be a parking lot or street, with several parked cars visible around. The person's head is wrapped in bandages, which cover their hair and have visible stains on them. They have short, light-colored hair visible beneath the bandage. The person is wearing a light-colored shirt that has splattered stains across it, along with a scarf or cloth loosely wrapped around the neck. In the background, there are buildings and a few more cars, all presented in a soft focus that contrasts with the sharp detail of the person’s back and head.
