Fotoreproductie van een röntgenfoto van de arm van een vrouw met ringen en een armband om before 1908

This anonymous X-ray photograph of a woman's arm, complete with rings and a bracelet, offers a peek beneath the surface of things. I love how the invisible becomes visible. It’s not just bones we see, but the intimate adornments of daily life. The hard metal of the rings and bracelet contrasts with the ghostly, almost floral rendering of the bones themselves. Look at the dark ring around one of the fingers; it’s solid and assertive against the delicate, translucent bones. It makes you think about what we choose to reveal and conceal, about the stories our bodies tell. The image reminds me of the work of other artists who probe the boundaries between the visible and invisible, such as Sigmar Polke, who experimented with unconventional materials to create unpredictable effects. Like Polke, this photograph challenges our perceptions and invites us to see the world in new and unexpected ways.
