content: Digital pigment print of an untitled photograph by Seren Kohen of women having their hair curled at a salon in New York City. In 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. 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.
