One Question
What do yousee here?
All notesA painter let visitors write the captions
One question beside every canvas in the studio. People who never speak up wrote paragraphs.
Every canvas in the studio had a small card beside it with a QR code and the same four words: what do you see here?
Visitors who would never have said anything out loud wrote paragraphs. A child saw an elephant learning to swim. A retired teacher saw her mother's market stall.
I stopped titling my work. The people who look at it name it better than I do.
“An elephant learning to swim.” Esi, 7
“My mother's stall at Makola, the year before it burned.” Someone
“Someone waiting for good news.” Ato
The best answers now hang beside the paintings, credited to whoever wrote them.
