A Family Book 2014

"A Family Book" (2014) by Nieves Mingueza, is a black and white photograph of a young girl, her face obscured. She is dressed in a dark velvet vest, a white blouse and a collared shirt, standing in front of a floral patterned wallpaper, framed within an oval. Mingueza's work often explores themes of identity, memory, and family history, using fragmented imagery to evoke a sense of nostalgia and longing. The obscured face emphasizes the anonymity of the subject, while the floral pattern adds a layer of complexity to the composition, suggesting the passage of time and the fading of memories.
