Colleville sur mer
Le cimetière
Le cimetière américain de Colleville sur Mer est situé au sommet de la falaise dominant la célèbre plage d’Omaha Beach. Nul n’entre dans le cimetière de Colleville par hasard, il faut en faire la démarche volontaire. Le visiteur se prépare pour aborder attentif et recueilli un morceau des États-Unis en France. Au-delà du Bâtiment de Réception, se trouve un magnifique Mémorial en demi-cercle au centre duquel une statue de bronze représente “l’Esprit de la jeunesse américaine s’élevant des flots”. Dans le prolongement du bassin où se reflète le Mémorial s’étire l’allée centrale desservant les 10 carrés de tombes où reposent 9 387 soldats dont 4 femmes et 307 inconnus.
Les croix sont toutes orientées à l’Ouest, vers le pays natal. L’alignement parfait des tombes sur la pelouse vert émeraude merveilleusement entretenue et l’omniprésence de la mer inspirent un sentiment inoubliable de paix et de sérénité. À la croisée des allées principales disposées en forme de croix latine, la Chapelle abrite un autel de marbre noir portant l’inscription : “Je leur donne la vie éternelle et ils ne périront jamais”. Dans le Jardin du souvenir, derrière le Mémorial, les noms de 1 557 disparus dans la région sont gravés sur un mur en arc de cercle.
Ce petit havre de verdure invite au recueillement et au souvenir. Le Normandy American Cemetery est entretenu par l’American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC), agence indépendante créée par le Congrès des États-Unis en 1923 et rattachée au pouvoir exécutif américain. L’ABMC a pour mission de conserver la mémoire des sacrifices et des exploits des Forces Militaires Américaines là où elles servirent en construisant et entretenant à l’étranger les cimetières militaires et les mémoriaux américains.

The crosses are oriented Westwards, towards their native land. The precisely aligned headstones against the immaculately maintained emerald green lawn and the omnipresence of the sea convey an unforgettable feeling of peace and serenity. At the crossing of the main paths laid in the form of a Latin Cross, the Chapel shelters a black marble altar on which is the inscription : “I give them eternal life and they shall never perish”. In the garden of the missing located behind the memorial is a semi-circular wall containing the names of 1 557 missing in the region.
The little haven of verdure invites you to meditation and memory.

Shilpa Gupta
For, in your tongue, I cannot fit, 2017–2018
speakers, microphones, printed text and metal stands

In the sound installation by Indian artist Shilpa Gupta, poems by a hundred poets who were imprisoned and in some cases executed can be heard from a hundred microphones. The loudspeaker microphones hang over metal poles, to which sheets of paper with the quoted poems are nailed. The poems date from the eighth century to the present day and are written in Hindi, English, Spanish, Arabic, Ukrainian and other languages.
In Gupta’s work, the diverse poems are united by a common feature: each poem is the ultimate expression of freedom. The words that are spoken against the prevailing ideology acquire such a power of individual and collective expression of will that the state takes away their right to speak them. The geographical and temporal variability of the poems used testifies to the omnipresence of censorship, which appears to be a universal method of the repressive state apparatus. In Gupta’s installation, however, poets who have been deprived of their freedom and sometimes their lives are finally given a voice, and their poems appear in a shared and free space. The work thus becomes an act of resistance and functions both as a work of art and as a political gesture – just like the poems it contains.

This steatite scarab has a flat underside with a vertically arranged design with a 'Maat' and longevity/omnipresence of Amun theme composed of four signs lacking syntactical context. The design of the back is simple with unbalanced body proportions and good workmanship. The piece is carefully made.
This scarab functioned as a supportive amulet and should secure life and justice. The piece could serve in this world and in the afterlife; as Amun's trigram, it should assure the support of the god. It would have originally been mounted or threaded.

EVERYTHING IS LIFE, by muralist Marc-Olivier Lamothe, adorns the Bon-Pasteur Park chalet with a naive, brightly colored universe, a delightful blend of geometric shapes, natural elements, and living creatures. The artist imagined his mural as an ode to nature and imagination. Each façade presents a landscape with multiple scenes, sometimes referring to birdsong, sometimes to the blooming of flowers and the omnipresence of our sun. It even allows for the discovery of a new species: the sunflower-eye! A fun invitation for everyone to observe the beauty of the nature that surrounds us.
Bon-Pasteur Park, 70 Boul. du Bon-Pasteur, Laval, Québec.
The painter from Umbria who created this unique devotional work can probably be identified as Fiorenzo di Lorenzo. Flanked by Saints Christopher and Sebastian, the Madonna sits enthroned with the Infant Jesus in a palace-like room. The floor is covered with marble, and both the canopy above the throne and the back wall are hung with precious gold brocade. The lavish use of gold leaf, which has also been worked and decorated in different ways, contributes to the particular charm of this painting and also symbolises the omnipresence of God.
This stunning image captures the ethereal beauty of Jinding (金顶, Golden Summit) at Mount Emei (峨眉山), Sichuan, China, in the early morning light of March. One of China’s most revered Buddhist sites, Jinding is renowned for its “Four Wonders” – the awe-inspiring sunrise, the mystical sea of clouds, the rare “Buddhist halo,” and the divine light that graces the mountaintop.
The architecture and sculpture in this frame are deeply symbolic of Buddhist heritage. The three prominent structures seen in the photograph from left to right are:
🏯 Puxian Hall (普贤殿) – A temple dedicated to Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, who embodies wisdom and virtue.
🏯 The Grand Hall of the Great Sage (大雄宝殿) – A significant Buddhist shrine, central to worship at Jinding.
The Ten-faced Puxian Stupa (十方普贤菩萨) – A magnificent 48-meter-tall golden statue of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, seated on a pedestal of four sacred elephants, representing omnipresence and enlightenment.
Set against the backdrop of a clear blue sky with delicate clouds, the golden hues of the temple and the towering statue gleam under the soft morning sunlight. This moment encapsulates the serenity, grandeur, and spiritual energy that make Mount Emei a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a place of pilgrimage for Buddhists worldwide.
UAXACTUN
Uaxactun is a little-known Mayan archaeological site, located in Petén in Guatemala, about twenty kilometers north of Tikal. An “end of the world” atmosphere.
Much of the history of Uaxactún is inseparable from that of Tikal. The reason lies in their extreme proximity. It seems that it was Uaxactún who first saw the light of day, almost four millennia ago. Then, men settled on the current site of Tikal and developed a city there. During the preclassical era (800 BC to 200 AD), the two cities coexisted peacefully. The reason for this peace was their mutual subordination to a third city-state, El Mirador, located about sixty kilometers away. This domination of El Mirador over the region held back the expansionist desires of the two neighboring cities for a long time. But, towards the end of the 1st century AD, the mighty El Mirador was brought down. The two cities of Tikal and Uaxactún were then able to give free rein to their appetite for conquest. At the same time, they embarked on important architectural work. Temples, acropolises and altars were created. Too close, the two cities ended up being bothered by the presence of a rival power in their neighborhood. In 378, the conflict ended with the definitive defeat of Uaxactún, now a vassal of Tikal.
Uaxactún is nothing like Tikal except for the omnipresence of the lush forest. Indeed, there are no astonishing pyramids here. Uaxactún is a modest site made up of six groups of structures scattered on either side of the old airstrip built at the time when the city was the subject of a major excavation program. Uaxactun has platforms decorated with large stucco masks. The best known of these platforms is a structure each side of which has a staircase flanked by sixteen masks representing lords or monsters Witz (the god of the mountain in the Mayan religion). This pyramid was an astronomical observatory: its east side faces three small temples aligned so as to be able to observe the sunrise at the solstices and equinoxes.
Pharma Franchise Company in Chandigarh in the Indian pharma industry has expanded huge omnipresence. This is similarly a popular strategy. All things considered, outcast collecting is generally called understanding creating. The realities affirm that among all the pharma things which are being sold today, the vast majority of those things are outcast things. There are numerous third party manufacturing pharma organizations in India.
