This photo album page, made with photographs pasted onto card, feels like a personal snapshot, a candid collection of moments in time. The black and white photos create a sense of distance, yet the arrangement of the pictures feels very deliberate, as if someone carefully constructed a visual narrative, or perhaps, like many family albums, they just took what they had. The images show diverse subjects, people, places, and scenes, hinting at a story or journey. The rough edges of the photos add a tactile, handmade quality. It reminds me of Kurt Schwitters' collages, where everyday scraps are transformed into art. Look at the way the photos are placed; some are close together, others have more space around them. It's like a visual rhythm, creating a sense of movement across the page. Ultimately, this album page invites us to reflect on how we construct our own personal histories and memories, embracing the beauty of imperfections and the power of images to tell stories.
