The skies of France 

Fernand Léger created "The Skies of France" using oil on canvas, a composition filled with abstract forms hovering in a blue expanse. Central to this canvas is the bullseye motif. The concentric circles recall targets, emblems of precision and focus, yet these forms are disrupted, softened, hinting at the fragility of certainty. We see echoes of this symbol across centuries; think of the Roman shield formations, a visual parallel to the ordered defense, or even the mandalas used in Eastern spiritual traditions, a guide for meditation. Over time, these visual guides have changed: from a shield wall to a tool for mindfulness, the idea of the circle has remained the same, one that soothes the soul while tapping into our innate desire for order. It shows that symbols can evolve over time to represent progress and change. Here, the bullseye becomes a lens through which we observe history, cultural memory, and the subconscious.
