Artist, American, born 1954

The image shows a desolate landscape with a derelict, bullet-riddled house in the center. Distant rolling hills and sparse vegetation are visible under a bright sky. The scene is monochromatic, emphasizing the contrast between the sun-bleached earth and dark shadows. Joshua trees stand to either side of the house, and the ground is littered with debris.
