Blank 1864 - 1941

This is an open book by Niels Larsen Stevns who was born in 1864. Consider the context of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a time when the written word held immense power and literacy was often a privilege. An open book might symbolize access to knowledge, a platform for voices, and perhaps a challenge to established norms. The book's aged pages whisper stories of its past, bearing witness to history. As we contemplate this blank canvas, we are invited to consider the voices of the marginalized, the stories yet untold, and the narratives that challenge traditional representations. This artwork becomes a reminder of the written word's potential to shape societal issues. It is a testament to the transformative power of untold stories and the importance of providing space for new voices.
