EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "7176919" captures the essence of the 20th century in Africa. The image showcases a thought-provoking allegory through its use of scales and balance weights as tools of work. Made from bronze, this metallic artwork represents the colonial era and its impact on African nations. The monument depicted stands tall as a public symbol, reflecting the architectural grandeur that characterized French colonization during this time. It serves as a reminder of France's presence in its overseas departments and territories within the European Union. Intriguingly, an outline map of Europe is subtly incorporated into the artwork, emphasizing the connection between Africa and its colonizers. Guinea, one of many countries affected by colonialism, is specifically highlighted in this piece. The concept of justice is beautifully portrayed through laurel trees surrounding the monument. These laurels represent victory and triumph over adversity—an homage to those who fought for freedom during this tumultuous period. This print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon history while appreciating art's ability to convey complex narratives. While it remains important not to mention commercial use due to copyright restrictions, we can still admire how this piece encapsulates significant themes from Africa's past within a single frame.
