Rotskust in Groot-Brittannië 1880 - 1905

Carl Frederick Musans Norman captured this image of the rocky coast in Great Britain in the late 19th or early 20th century. The image conveys a sense of sublime isolation and the power of nature. These geological forms echo primordial symbols, much like the ancient ziggurats of Mesopotamia, representing humanity's attempt to understand and connect with the divine through towering structures. The image has a connection to the concept of the “axis mundi”, the symbolic center of the world that unites the earthly and the divine. This archetype resonates through various cultures and times, appearing in monumental architecture and spiritual landscapes, thus engaging viewers on a deep subconscious level. The cliffs are a powerful force, evoking feelings of awe and reverence. This echoes the non-linear, cyclical progression of such archetypes, revealing how symbols resurface, evolve, and take on new meanings across different historical contexts.
