Vuurtoren van Créac'h before 1883

This monochromatic photograph captures the Vuurtoren van Créac'h. The lighthouse emerges, not merely as a structure of utility, but as a potent symbol against the horizon. Consider its form: a tower, echoing the ancient obelisks and minarets. It's a visual echo of the Tower of Babel, a reaching towards the divine, yet here, grounded in a very human endeavor—guidance and safety. The lighthouse, with its rhythmic, sweeping light, mirrors the cyclical nature of time. It is a modern-day oracle, its beam a constant revelation in the darkness, a beacon that serves as a guardian against the unknown. This recurring motif of the tower carries a psychological weight, embodying our primal desire for orientation, for clarity amidst chaos. And so, the lighthouse persists, a visual anchor through shifting historical tides, forever casting its light across the waters of time.
