content: Shoes recently kicked off, toys on the stairs, and a purse dangling from a newel post are all offered by Bright as traces of the Black domestic interior in The Suburbia Portfolio. With figures just out of frame or carefully obscured, these scenes maintain privacy for residents but also create an atmosphere of familiar intimacy and downtime.
label: Description
content: A color photograph of a kitchen in a house. At center of the photograph is a kitchen island. On the island is a glass vase with peach colored roses. Behind the vase, more roses are lying on the countertop, as if waiting to be placed in the vase. At center, next to the roses, is a half-drunk bottle of green juice with the label "Odwalla Superfood." In the background, a woman wearing a pink shirt and red shorts reaches into the kitchen pantry, her left hand resting on one of the two double doors.
