A vertically oriented black-and-white photograph features a bulbous pepper with deep, undulating folds centered against a dark background. Bright highlights gleam on the smooth skin, while deep shadows define the curved crevices in shades of dark gray. Scattered water droplets rest on the surface. On our right, a large section of the form displays a dense, beaded texture of tiny bubbles.
