Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

An archival pigment print photograph of collaged images. The central image is a black-and-white photograph of an older woman seated with two children. Another child is in the foreground of the photograph, with just their head and eyes appearing in front of the woman's knees. The photograph has been cut into the shape of a flying bird. The bird shape is set against a background black-and-white photographic image of bare tree branches against a dull sky. The print is mounted on black sintra pvc board with back frame and a label with the artist, title, date, medium, and dimensions.
