EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Philippe Wojazer, the grandeur of the Sacre Coeur basilica in Paris is juxtaposed with the delicate beauty of icicles hanging from a gargoyle. As winter weather blankets France with snow and freezing temperatures, nature's artistic touch adorns this architectural masterpiece. Captured from a low angle view, we are drawn into the close-up details of this iconic landmark. The intricate architectural style is highlighted against a backdrop of shadows, creating an ethereal atmosphere that transports us to another time and place. The positioning of the icicles adds an element of surprise and wonder to the composition. Suspended in mid-air, these natural formations seem almost surreal as they dangle precariously from the gargoyle's mouth. Their translucent ice crystals catch light effortlessly, casting a soft glow against the white facade. This image beautifully captures both city life and nature's influence on it. The frozen adornments serve as decorative sculptures amidst urban surroundings while reminding us of our environment's power to transform even man-made structures into breathtaking works of art. With no people present in this scene, we are left to appreciate the stillness and serenity that winter brings to Sacre Coeur. Through Wojazer's lens, we witness not only a religious building but also an enchanting moment frozen in time – where architecture meets nature in perfect harmony.
