EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Yves Herman, the sun gracefully ascends behind the magnificent Cinquantenaire arch in Brussels, Belgium. Erected in 1905 as a permanent replacement for a temporary structure commemorating Belgian independence's fiftieth anniversary, this iconic monument stands tall and proud against the morning sky. As dawn breaks on January 18,2016, the golden rays of sunlight cast a warm glow upon the arch's intricate details and grandeur. The architectural masterpiece serves as a testament to Belgium's rich history and enduring spirit. The composition captures both serenity and strength; it symbolizes new beginnings and endless possibilities that each sunrise brings. The juxtaposition of nature's beauty with man-made marvels creates an awe-inspiring sight that resonates deeply within our souls. Yves Herman skillfully frames this momentous occasion, allowing us to witness firsthand how light conquers darkness. Through his lens, we are transported to an ethereal realm where time seems suspended—a fleeting yet eternal instant frozen forever in this remarkable photograph. This image is more than just a visual representation; it encapsulates hope, resilience, and the indomitable human spirit. It reminds us that even amidst chaos or uncertainty—like those experienced during times of political change—we can find solace in the simple yet profound beauty surrounding us. Whether displayed on gallery walls or cherished within personal collections, Yves Herman's print invites viewers to embrace optimism and appreciate life's extraordinary moments unfolding before our eyes.
