Spoorbrug over de Ci Somang in aanbouw 1932

This photograph shows the ‘Spoorburg over de Ci Somang in aanbouw’, but when and by whom, remains a mystery. Look at this skeletal structure, stark against the landscape; a bridge under construction. You can almost hear the clanging and feel the grit under your feet. This feels like hard work. The anonymous artist zeroes in on those criss-crossed girders, like a massive drawing in space. I imagine the photographer's focus, their attention to detail – the way the light catches the metal, the texture of the earth. Were they thinking about progress, connection, or maybe the sheer human effort involved in such a feat? It's a dance between the natural and the constructed, a visual poem about ambition and the transformation of the world around us. In a way, this photograph is like a painting – an embodied expression which embraces ambiguity and uncertainty. The artist engages in a dialogue, inspiring our own creativity.
