Triplet 2022

Editor: Here we have Alfred Freddy Krupa's 2022 photograph, "Triplet." It's a study in black and white, capturing three arched doorways in a very realist style. There’s almost a somber feeling to it. What initially grabs your attention when you look at it? Curator: Oh, that’s an interesting jumping-off point. The first thing that whispers to me is the symmetry—not perfect, but the *suggestion* of it. It's like a song played slightly out of tune, which is infinitely more captivating, wouldn't you agree? I’m drawn to the textures, the aging of the stone. It hints at so many untold stories embedded in those walls, maybe of resilience? Editor: Resilience is a good word! I didn’t immediately consider it that way. Tell me more about the architectural context – does that inform the mood? Curator: Absolutely. Think about these old European cities – history practically oozes from the brickwork! The street art element is a key element. Each of the doors possesses its unique personality: the severe geometry of the metal ones flanks the comforting decay of the wooden entrance, don't they? Have you considered each doorway offering the promise of its distinctive passage or perspective? The textures! It's as though time has painted on time… which, perhaps, is an artwork in its own right. Editor: I can see that. Thanks. I see what you mean about each doorway presenting its unique promise of what exists beyond. It definitely alters my perspective. Curator: Art changes when *we* change. Remember, sometimes, the best art just opens new ways to explore that beautiful little space of interpretation, where the world inside you weds with the world out there! It leaves us a changed heart, I feel.
