Times Square Hotel
As an extension of her interest in derelict places, Burns's Times Square Hotel series proffers a voyeuristic inspection of the semiprivate realm of the rented hotel room. This image from the series evokes a melancholy human presence that is emphasized by the restrained luminosity and saturated color of her print.
