The photograph examines demolition through the lens of modern day vanitas, emphasizing the art of destruction. It draws attention to the annihilation of previous beliefs and the futility of worldly pursuits. Civilization changes what we view as beautiful overtime, reminding us that nothing can prevent decay and death, even in institutions and buildings. This moment of change creates fleeting images, emphasizing how man both sparks and creates destruction. Likened to the carnage of Roman, Greek, and Babylonian architectures, the image reflects the pointless search for power and glory.
