Windows after 1993

Gordon Parks' "Windows" is a striking black and white photograph that captures a sense of urban isolation. The composition features a close-up view of a brick wall, with the repeated pattern of windows drawing the viewer’s eye across the piece. The photograph was taken after 1993, towards the end of Parks' career, showcasing his continued exploration of social commentary in a minimalist visual style. The image's stark contrast and focus on the windows as portals to unseen lives invites contemplation of the lives and stories behind each pane of glass, emphasizing the sense of both connection and detachment inherent in urban spaces.
