About The Work
In American Family by Diane Wah, the viewer sees only the backs of the bride and groom in the midst of their wedding ceremony, as though we were members of the congregation. The man reaches for something in his pocket, presumably the wedding ring that will finalize the marriage. The composition of the photograph, left uncropped, reflects the simplicity of the ceremony, and our intimate position makes us feel as though we are participating in the start of a new American family.
