Icons

Icons are everywhere. Each country has their own but what ties them all together is a universal recognition of their importance and significance. From older ones like l'Arc de Triomphe dating back to 1806 to the more recent like the Black Lives Matter street, icons found in every country represent a part of human history that lives on as an art work. Truly, each iconic monument physically symbolizes the correlation between history and art. As such, the titles of each photograph are synonyms of the word 'icon'. For an icon is a landmark, an idol, a marking, a hallmark, a statue, an impression, a token, an emblem, a sigil, a symbol. That which is displayed and the viewer instinctively knows, is transported to the icon's home and senses the veneration and value of the artwork. Taking in each image, let this iconic journey guide you through a quick synopsis of the history of the world.
