Untitled (house destroyed by tornado, other houses standing around it) c. 1945

Editor: So, here's an intriguing photograph by Jack Gould, simply titled "Untitled (house destroyed by tornado, other houses standing around it)." It's stark, almost ghostly. There's this one house that's just...gone. What do you make of it? Curator: It hits you right in the gut, doesn't it? The chaos, the vulnerability. It makes me wonder, what's left behind when everything familiar is ripped away? I see resilience, too, in those houses still standing – a quiet sort of defiance. Perhaps the image reminds us of the fragility of our own lives? Editor: Resilience, I like that. The ordinary amidst the extraordinary. Thanks! Curator: And thank you; you’ve given me a fresh perspective, too.
