This print captures the Griais Memorial, a powerful monument that stands as a testament to the turbulent history of land ownership in the Isle of Lewis. Located north of Stornoway in the Outer Hebrides, this striking memorial represents a symbolic croft torn apart by Lord Leverhulme, who owned Harris and Lewis at the turn of the last century. The image showcases an intriguing blend of contemporary architecture and historical significance. Against a backdrop of Scotland's breathtaking landscape, this monolithic structure serves as a reminder of past struggles and injustices faced by local communities.

The horizontal composition allows viewers to fully appreciate its grandeur while immersing themselves in its rural surroundings. As we delve into this photograph's rich colors and textures, it transports us to another time - inviting us to reflect on our own relationship with land ownership and preservation.
