In the crumpled flags of the German Empire, a story unfolds. It takes us back to an era where Biggles soared through the skies, amidst fire and planes. The Blitz in London left its mark, damaging tanks and leaving Thames Haven scarred from World War II's relentless grip. Like "The House That Jack Built, " each event built upon another, shaping history as we know it. Amidst this chaos, Harold Wilson emerged as a beacon of hope for Britain as its Labour Prime Minister. His leadership brought resilience in times of turmoil. A wrecked car on Howland Street stood as a stark reminder of the destruction that war brings. Yet even amidst wreckage, there is beauty to be found. In New Zealand's West Coast lies Westland Tai Poutini National Park - a pristine haven untouched by man's destructive touch. A portrait from 1925 captures a moment frozen in time with black and white elegance. Still Life with Flowers in an Earthenware Jug transports us to c. 1910-1920 when life bloomed despite uncertainty surrounding the world wars. Under the Lamp; Sous la lampe showcases light shining through darkness - a symbol of hope illuminating our path forward. Through all these moments captured in photographs and paintings alike, one thing remains constant: our first-person singular experience within this vast tapestry called life. As we examine each damaged car or crumpled flag, we are reminded that every crease tells a story - both personal and collective. Crumpled hints scattered throughout time beckon us to reflect on our past while embracing our present reality with open hearts and minds – for it is within these folds that lessons are learned and memories preserved for generations yet to come.
