Initial T c. 16th century

Curator: This woodcut, titled "Initial T" and created by an anonymous artist, has such a bold presence for something so small. It feels so elemental. Editor: I see it too, almost like a primal scream in graphic form! The stark black ink against the paper screams for legibility but becomes something else entirely. Curator: Exactly! The letter "T" is almost consumed by the surrounding foliage, fighting for dominance. Do you think that tension could echo societal struggles for recognition? Editor: Absolutely. Think about marginalized voices, how they are often obscured by dominant narratives. The initial "T" could symbolize any identity struggling to be seen, to take up space. Curator: It makes me wonder, what word was this T meant to start? What story did it introduce? And what stories remain untold, hidden in plain sight? Editor: Or stories yet to be written... it definitely underscores how something so small can carry such significant weight. Curator: I like that thought.
