Wolfgang Tillsman, "New Family"
2001, Photograph, colour, Chromogenic print, on paper
What caught my attention with this image, by Wolfgang Tillmans, is the name of the image. The name of the image is "New Family", I feel like I've started a new family recently. When my dad found his new girlfriend, she's sweet and really nice. Once she joined our family we started connecting more, more than even when my mom was around. Recently it's been feeling like we've started a new family. This image specifically connects with me because of the windshield wipers, when. I first glanced at the image I thought it was raining, but it actually isn't. Since I thought it was raining it reminded me of rainy days, usually when it rains, I have bad days. Whenever it rains and when I'm in the car I always like staring at the windshield wipers going back and forth. This image gave me nostalgia of rainy days.
