This is a photograph of a series of black and white images. The image shows a contact sheet or collage-style presentation of twelve separate square black and white photographs. Each photograph captures a different subject or view. The top left photograph displays a shop window with an American flag prominently hanging, surrounded by various items on display. Adjacent is an image of a figure in uniform holding a flag while walking past a building. Continuing to the right, there are multiple photos that depict the back of a driver’s head viewed from inside a car as it is being driven. In one image, part of a steering wheel is visible, and in another, a road and trees can be seen outside the windshield. Other photos include abstract views such as a closely-cropped round object and reflections, possibly through a circular window or lens. Additionally, there are images of trees with reflections on water, creating a serene contrast to the urban and road scenes.
