I'm quite obsessed with this photo! It was taken in the early 1930's somewhere in Helsinki.
To these two young ladies, the past, older people and their silly notions (and fashions) seem completely irrelevant, and NO-ONE after them will ever be as interesting as them.
Like a couple of my other pieces, this one also contains a semi-abstract element snapped from an evening gown - this time a drawing of a late 1900th century red dress. It goes so perfectly with a coffee delivery shop's (?) menu leaflet, from a small business that once seems to have existed on my neighbouring street.
This collage is also special to me because it is the first one I made for the new collage community I founded in February 2025 - Hki Collage, and our very first online challenge.
Original photograph by unknown, early 1930's. Helsinki City Museum via Finna.
