TITLE //
26 July 1965
Acrylic
120*80
This day is marked in history as the day Maldives gained total independence from the British. 26th July 2021 marks its 56th independence, on this day this photograph was taken during the independence, on this day this photograph was taken during the signing ceremony between the president Ibrahim Nasir and the British. I specifically chose this photograph because I wanted to further cherish the beauty of this momentous day with my brushstrokes, framed with a hand carved an antique frame using the Maldives hiriga patterns. They say a photograph says a thousand words, this photograph has been celebrated upon for 56 long years with wondrous thousand and mush more words by the Maldivians. There's nothing more Maldivian the the love for our nation. This is one of the many National days that unites the people of this nature's beauty in this vast Indian ocean.
