EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the poignant installation artwork, "Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red" which was displayed in the moat of the Tower of London between July and November 2014. Created by artist Paul Cummins with a setting designed by Tom Piper, this remarkable piece commemorated the centenary of World War I. The image showcases an aerial view from the east, revealing a sea of vibrant red ceramic poppies that fill every inch of the moat. Each meticulously crafted poppy symbolizes one British or Colonial serviceman who lost their life during the war – a staggering total of 888,246 individuals. As we gaze upon this powerful scene, we are reminded not only of the immense sacrifice made by those who fought for their country but also of our collective duty to remember them. The sheer scale and beauty of this installation serve as a visual representation of remembrance, evoking emotions that words alone cannot convey. "Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red" stands as both a commemoration and a war memorial, honoring those who gave everything for future generations' freedom. It serves as a solemn reminder that behind each fallen soldier lies an individual story – hopes extinguished too soon, dreams left unfulfilled. Lucy Millson-Watkins skillfully captures this momentous artwork through her lens, allowing us to reflect on history's impact while inspiring us to strive for peace in our own time.
