Description
The inaugural exhibition of SILVER: A State of Mind at The Buck Institute on Aging includes a selection of 12 portraits from photographer Vicki Topaz’s recent series featuring fifty-two remarkable women, mostly in their late 50’s and older, who have let their hair go grey. The large black and white prints (40” x 48”) and their accompanying stories reveal women who are confronting issues relevant to all of us – issues of aging, authenticity, attractiveness, illness, and more. Topaz invites the viewer to explore aging by interacting with these candid and vulnerable portraits, which reveal each subject’s beauty, grace and strength as they boldly face the camera, bow their heads in introspection, or toss their hair with joy.The broader selection of portraits from SILVER: A State of Mind
