This is a page from an album created by Carolina Onnen, featuring three small black and white photographs from a trip to Greece and Turkey. I’m picturing Carolina carefully placing each of these photos on the page. The handwriting adds a personal touch, like she’s literally scripting a memory. I wonder what Carolina was thinking as she looked through the lens. What was she hoping to capture? There's something about those old photos—they aren't just snapshots, they're like little time capsules. The Acropolis in Athens, a couple of people on a boat, a view from a rocky outcrop… Each photo is a piece of a journey, a moment in time, composed and framed by the artist. It’s amazing how these photographs, seemingly simple, can evoke such a sense of place and time. Artists, even photographers, are always in conversation with one another. Each work builds upon what came before, creating a rich tapestry of human experience. What Carolina's done here is more than just documentation, it’s about connection and memory.
