This photograph was one from a series that Avedon shot at a mental institution. this photograph was striking to me because because of the composition.when i first looked at the photograph, i just saw the woman facing the camera, and her room behind it, but then i realized the figure in the bed, also staring at the camera.. which really intrigued me. these figures make me ask questions about them. i also chose this photograph because of how it relates to me. since ive been shooting rooms recently, and beds, i think its interesting how different rooms can give off a different feeling. the room seems so sterile, with the white bed and sheets, and light stone walls, and even the woman in a white dress.. it really adds to the feeling of a hospital or institution.
