content: Digital pigment print of an untitled photograph by Seren Kohen of the interior of a barbershop in New York City. Three barbers are shown at work, a woman cutting a man's white hair, an unidentifiable barber cutting a man's hair very close, and an older man shaving a young man's beard. The barbershop's walls and floor are covered in light-colored tile, and several mirrors on the wall allow the viewer to see reflections of customers' faces and the anterior wall of the shop. A neon sign using Chinese characters and the Asian customers and employees at the barbershop suggest that this shop is in an area with a significant Asian population.
