Seville 

David Roberts crafted this watercolor view of Seville, capturing the city's profile with its iconic tower, a symbol of cultural fusion. Dominating the horizon, this tower echoes the minarets of Islamic architecture, transformed by the Christian Reconquista into a bell tower. This act of cultural repurposing resonates with the tale of the serpent in ancient mythologies, initially a symbol of chaos and darkness, later embraced as a symbol of healing and wisdom. Across time, we see how symbols are not static but rather are constantly evolving and shifting meaning. The tower, once a beacon of Islamic faith, now stands as a Christian landmark, a visual palimpsest of history etched in stone. This echoes the way collective memory reshapes itself through art, revealing the hidden depths of cultural transformation.
