About the work

Second in a sequence of eight photographs titled "The Magic Box". View of a young girl in the corner of a living room with her back to the camera, standing in front of a large box and holding open the flaps of the box to look inside. A window on the left side of the image is open slightly, and a cat crouches on the sill.
