content: Digital pigment print of an untitled photograph by Seren Kohen of women having their hair styled at a salon in New York City. In the middle of the photograph, two women are seated in chairs with white towels on their backs and shoulders while hairdressers work their wet hair around curlers. The seated women, both wearing black tops, appear uninterested in the work being done on their hair, even though both are assisting by holding the curlers to be used. The hairdressers look to be intensely focused on their work. At least four other women are seated beneath half-dome style salon hair dryers at the left and right sides of the room. Two are reading magazines. Four other women around the room appear to be assisting the hair stylists and checking on the other customers. Shelves of hair care products are visible on the salon's back wall beneath a television and a small statue of what appears to be Jesus. The women in the salon all appear to be of Mexican or Latin American heritage.
