April 1989

"April" (1989) is a black and white photograph by Jim Goldberg, a renowned American photographer known for his social documentary work. The image shows a hand holding a gun pointing at a photo album filled with family pictures. This powerful image, part of Goldberg's series "Raised by Wolves," explores themes of violence, domesticity, and the complex realities of everyday life, particularly in marginalized communities. The juxtaposition of the weapon and the family photos creates a stark contrast that speaks volumes about the fragility of life and the pervasive presence of violence in society.
