Not on view
Color photograph of a robed figure kneeling at a riverbank, washing dishes, with a golden hillside reflected in still blue-green water
Color photograph, close-up portrait of an elderly person wearing a red batik head cloth with a small flower tucked at the side, turned slightly from the camera against a soft green background.
Color photograph of two black-faced sheep among heather and rocky hillside vegetation, with a misty green valley visible below; the larger sheep bears a teal paint mark on its fleece.
Color photograph of several figures rowing a long narrow boat along a tree-lined river, foreground blurred with tall grasses; motion blur and chromatic aberration visible throughout, lending a soft, unstable quality to the lush green scene.
Color photograph of traditional Japanese tiled rooftops nestled among dense pine and cedar forest at dusk, with pampas grass in the foreground and misty mountain slopes in the background under a pale yellow sky.
Color photograph of a group of riders on horseback wearing matching blue and orange traditional costumes with gold trim, moving across a ground decorated with bold geometric triangle patterns in red, yellow, and blue.
Color photograph of several figures in dark full-length coverings, seated in a circle on ornately patterned tilework with geometric and arabesque designs in terracotta, blue, and white. The figures appear almost entirely as silhouettes against the elaborate floor.
Color photograph of a bullfighter seen from behind, extending a gold and pink cape to the left; motion blur streaks the cape across a gray sand arena floor.
Color photograph of six men wearing turbans and draped robes, gathered in a dimly lit interior with dramatic chiaroscuro lighting casting deep shadows against a pale wall.
Color photograph of an elderly man in a wrapped head cloth and worn ochre garment, leaning over a large shallow clay vessel in a darkened interior, dramatically lit from below.
Photograph of a Gothic cathedral façade with rose windows and pinnacled spires, rendered through multiple exposures or chemical distortion creating layered, drifting architectural forms in pale blue and gray tones with chromatic aberration at the edges.
Color photograph of a large, dimly lit room with an ornate plaster fireplace surround and baroque relief decoration on the wall. A figure seated in a wooden chair faces several paintings on easels near the fireplace. A worktable with objects stands to the left; warm raking light from windows at right casts long shadows across the parquet floor.
