This is a page from a photo album, filled with snapshots of different people, made by an anonymous artist. The photos are black and white, and each has a different composition and focus. I can imagine the artist carefully arranging them on the page, trying to tell a story or capture a feeling. The images are glued in place with these little dark squares in each corner and the artist leaves a few spaces - are they waiting for more photos to complete the album? Or has the artist decided the work is finished? What do you think they might have been thinking when they made it? It reminds me that making art is like a conversation across time, where we’re all sharing ideas and inspiring each other. In a way, the album is a form of expression, embracing this ambiguity, allowing for multiple interpretations. It’s open-ended, and that’s what makes it so engaging.
