EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative portrait by Carola Kayen-Mouthaan titled "Old Times," we are transported back to a bygone era of communication, where the simple act of making a call held a deeper significance. The image captures a young girl, her eyes closed in deep concentration as she cradles a vintage telephone to her ear. The telephone, a symbol of connection in a time before smartphones, sits atop a worn wooden table, surrounded by the relics of a simpler past. A stack of sheet music lies nearby, a testament to the importance of music in the daily lives of people during this time. The warm glow of a candle casts an amber hue over the scene, adding to the sense of nostalgia and intimacy. In the background, we see the silhouette of a woman, her figure framed by the window, perhaps waiting for her turn to make a call. The girl's hands, adorned with delicate bracelets, rest gently on the table, while her other hand holds a sheet of paper with a list of numbers. The typewriter in the corner, a common tool for correspondence before the advent of email, adds to the figurative and literal weight of the communication taking place. The image invites us to reflect on the ways in which technology has transformed the way we communicate with one another. With the ease and convenience of modern communication, it's easy to forget the depth and meaning that once accompanied a simple phone call. Kayen-Mouthaan's "Old Times" serves as a poignant reminder of the human connection that once defined our communication, and the nostalgia that lingers for those simpler times.
