Untitled (Rock Head) 2005

David Hammons' "Untitled (Rock Head)" from 2005 features a rock that has been manipulated to resemble a human head with black hair. The piece is a simple yet striking example of Hammons' practice of incorporating found objects and challenging viewers to confront issues of race and representation in art. The use of a natural element like a rock further emphasizes this confrontation, as it brings to light the ways in which people of color have been historically dehumanized and objectified.
