May Flowers Possibly 2002 - 2013

"May Flowers" is a 2002-2013 photograph by Carrie Mae Weems depicting three young Black children in a seemingly candid pose. The image, presented in a circular frame, is characteristic of Weems' work, which often explores themes of race, identity, and representation within the African American experience. The soft focus and warm tones evoke a sense of intimacy and nostalgia, while the carefully composed arrangement of the subjects suggests a staged quality, leaving viewers to question the nature of the depicted moment.
