My Father's Shirt (left) 1994

Editor: This photograph, "My Father's Shirt (left)" by David Hilliard, presents a very intimate, domestic scene. There's a certain... stillness to it, despite the vibrant shirt. What do you make of it? Curator: It’s like a memory, isn’t it? The floral shirt clashes beautifully with the mundane sink, grounding the image in reality. Hilliard captures the essence of these everyday moments, almost like a time capsule. Does the reflection in the bowl catch your eye? Editor: It does! It's like a distorted, fragmented version of the scene itself. Curator: Exactly! Perhaps hinting at the way we remember things—never quite whole, always filtered through our own experiences and emotions. This piece is so much about absence and presence, isn’t it? Editor: I see that now. Thanks for pointing that out! Curator: My pleasure. Art is a conversation; now, what does it say to you?
