The Sally Mann photograph on offer here, depicts the distinctive style and thematic concerns that can been seen throughout all of Mann’s images. Using an 8 x 10 camera, this image is part of the series created between 1984 and 1994, a profound collection of photographs that offer a glimpse into the intimate world of Mann's children growing up in rural Virginia.

The viewer sees a tense young girl standing in a vast, desolate landscape, her gaze fixed on something beyond the frame. The girl's posture and expression convey a sense of vulnerability, inviting viewers to contemplate complexities of childhood, identity, and the passage of time.

Mann's photographs serve as a mirror reflecting the depths of human experience back to us. The images remind us of the enduring power of memory and emotion, and the ways in which these forces shape and define our lives. Through her art, Mann enables us to confront our own truths, to find solace in our shared humanity, and to render ourselves real in all our complexity and richness.
