Description
A thought-provoking ninth plate tintype capturing a dramatic scene with a Native American held at gunpoint by a white man, the tension palpable as the Native American sits stoically beside his captor. This evocative image portrays a troubling narrative of power dynamics and cultural conflict, with the white man brandishing a pistol while the Native American remains composed, wearing distinctive hoop earrings that speak to his cultural identity. The tintype medium, known for its raw and unfiltered quality, accentuates the intensity of the moment, inviting viewers to reflect on the complexities of race and history in the American West.
