"Tompkins Trees," featuring gelatin-silver prints by East Village-based photographer Alicia Fowler, will be on view from July 11 through Aug. 7 at the cafe at 341 E. 10th St., near Avenue B.
In the series, Fowler explores her relationship with the trees in and around Tompkins Square Park.
"Their largeness and steadfastness enchant me," she says. "At times, they menace me. One need only look at the image of a fallen branch busted through a park bench after a storm to remember trees can only be controlled so much."
An opening reception is set for Thursday, July 23, from 7-9 p.m.
More on Fowler's work is at her website.
Ninth Street Espresso is open daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
