Peru, page 18 1948

This is a photograph taken in Peru by Robert Frank, and it’s got this heavy dose of reality, like a snapshot ripped from a bigger story. I like the way the composition is split, you know? A tight crop of the crowd on the left, and then this stark white space on the right, like a missing piece. Frank was playing with what to include and exclude, and he chose to leave it incomplete. It's a gritty image, the kind that feels like it was born out of a need to capture something real. It reminds me that art isn't just about pretty pictures or slick surfaces. Sometimes, it's about bearing witness, about trying to make sense of the world, one frame at a time, and about understanding the boundaries of what can be seen, and what must be left to the imagination.
