"The figure in the shadow is not me. That is you. That is all."
Tomoko Daido, email to Alisha Kerlin, August 12, 2020

A black and white photograph of two concrete walls encountering one another at the center of the image. The shadow of a third wall falls across the bottom halves of the walls, dividing them sharply into light and dark areas. A long, narrow ladder appears to run up one of the walls. The image has been deliberately framed in such a way that the identities of the different components of the picture are hard to discern.
