Untitled 1992

This untitled photograph was taken by Thomas Roma, though it's hard to say exactly when. I wonder, what was it like for Roma to walk into that room, camera in hand, and capture this moment of collective devotion? You know, the kind of scene that feels both intimate and somehow monumental. The light and shadow render a story of faith, community, and the everyday, all at once. I’m curious about the relationship between the photographer and his subjects. As an artist, you are always negotiating questions around authenticity, and what it means to be present with one another. I wonder if the writing on the wall was there before or after Roma took the shot. Ultimately, all artists are in conversation with one another across time, inspiring each other's creativity and inviting us to reflect on the complexities of the human experience.
