Militaire begrafenis 1940 - 1943

This photo album page, 'Military Funeral,' captures different scenes from a funeral, all in black and white. I look at this, and I think, who was the person documenting this? There's a real intimacy to the images. It makes me think about the tradition of mourning and remembrance, and how we all, as humans, try to make sense of loss. It's a humble record, a personal archive, and these small photos feel kind of huge with meaning and also kind of lost, but maybe that’s the point. They are a reminder that art doesn’t always have to be loud, showy, or famous. Sometimes, it can be quiet, like a whisper across time. It's about bearing witness and the power of simple gestures of remembrance to touch something deep within us.
