Untitled is a 2007 ink by Mary Beth Edelson, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This black-and-white photo shows a person’s torso and arms holding a large seashell up to their face. The shell is detailed, with tight spiral patterns inside. The background looks like rough rocks and dirt, making the shell stand out. The image feels quiet and personal, like a moment frozen in time. The artist used a digital process to create this print, which lets them play with light and shadow in a very controlled way.
