EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "I am touched, not broken by the waves" by John Leighton is a profound representation of resilience and strength in the face of adversity. The image depicts a solitary figure standing on a rocky shore, surrounded by crashing waves. Despite the tumultuous sea, the person remains steadfast and unyielding. This artwork serves as a visual metaphor for life's challenges and how we can overcome them. It reminds us that although we may be touched or affected by difficult circumstances, we have the power to remain unbroken. The waves symbolize obstacles that come our way, representing hardships, setbacks, or even emotional turmoil. Leighton's intricate detailing brings this scene to life; every ripple in the water and every line etched into the figure's expression conveys depth and emotion. The artist masterfully captures both vulnerability and resilience in one powerful image. "I am touched, not broken by the waves" is more than just an engraving; it is a reflection on human nature and our ability to endure. It encourages us to find inner strength during challenging times and reminds us that despite being buffeted by life's storms, we can emerge stronger than ever before. This historical piece from 1860 continues to resonate with viewers today as it speaks directly to our shared experiences of facing adversity head-on while remaining unbroken at our core.
