Equivalent 1926

Here is a photograph by Alfred Stieglitz, using light and shadow, he shows us something simple - clouds! You might think, what's the big deal? But look again. What if these aren't just clouds? What if they are feelings, thoughts, or even memories? Stieglitz called these photographs "Equivalents," meaning they stood for something else, something deeper. Maybe he was going through something tough, or maybe he was feeling on top of the world. The beauty of it is, we can all see something different in them. And that's what art is all about, right? It's a conversation between the artist and the viewer, a chance for us to connect with each other and with ourselves. So next time you see a cloud, remember Stieglitz and ask yourself: what does that cloud mean to me? What does it feel like? You might be surprised by what you discover.
