A photograph taken by Alec Soth in 2005, *A-1 Motel* captures the quiet melancholy of roadside America with his signature large-format intimacy. The archival pigment print renders the mundane architecture of a budget motel in rich, saturated detail, evoking a sense of transience and solitude. Soth's work invites the viewer to contemplate the lives that pass through such anonymous, forgotten spaces along the American landscape.
