Fantasy Fear Fearful Fears Menace Scare Scared Scary Sep15 Shiver Surreal Surrealism Terrified Terror Unusual Quaking Shivering Warped


EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaotic backdrop of the First World War, this surreal and haunting image captures the moment the Vendome Column in Paris trembles in fear at news of German successes on the battlefield. Circa 1916, the scene presents an unusual juxtaposition of the grandiose and the fragile, as the once-proud monument quakes with a palpable sense of terror. The menacing shadows cast upon its ornate surface add to the sense of unease, as if the very foundations of civilization were being shaken to their core. The quivering column, with its wobbling and shivering form, is a stark reminder of the fear and uncertainty that gripped Europe during the Great War. This fantastical and fearful depiction, filled with shivers and quakes, serves as a poignant reminder of the scary and warped reality of the times. The Vendome Column's reaction to the news of German advances is a testament to the profound impact of the war on the collective psyche of the people, and a reminder of the terror and terrorized feelings that gripped the world during this tumultuous period in history.
