EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the era of French colonisation in the 1930s. Standing tall at the Exhibition International in Paris, a magnificent Military Tower takes center stage. Its four elegant white pillars proudly display engraved names of revered generals and principal battles, serving as a lasting tribute to their heroic exploits. The architectural beauty of this portrait pillar monument is truly remarkable. The clean lines and intricate details showcase the skillful craftsmanship that went into its creation. As we gaze upon it, we can't help but feel a sense of awe and reverence for the history it represents. This photograph captures not only an architectural feature but also reveals glimpses into France's rich cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder of the country's imperial past, where military might played a significant role in shaping politics and society. In this black and white format, every line etched on the tower tells a story - stories of identity, conflict, triumphs, and sacrifices made by those who fought under its banner. It stands as an enduring symbol of national pride amidst changing times. Sasha has masterfully captured this archival image with great attention to detail. Through her lens, she invites us to reflect on our shared history while appreciating the artistry behind such grand exhibitions that once graced Europe's most vibrant city - Paris.
