Untitled (baby on scale looking into mirror) c. 1950

Editor: This photograph, simply titled "Untitled," by Lucian and Mary Brown, features a baby on a scale, gazing into a mirror. It’s a bit eerie, almost clinical in its starkness. What's your take on it? Curator: It whispers of early self-discovery, doesn’t it? The mirror reflects not just an image, but the dawn of identity. The clinical setting juxtaposed with such innocence makes me wonder about the gaze: is it scientific, loving, or something in between? Editor: That's interesting. I hadn't considered the ambiguity of the gaze itself. Curator: Photography freezes a moment. But in this one, Lucian and Mary Brown allow us to ponder the infinite reflections of selfhood.
