Over time, it has become an enduring landmark of Jamestown, standing alongside the fishing community as a witness to the area’s maritime history, everyday life and continuing transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lighthouse rises above the historic Jamestown shoreline, surrounded by the everyday life of the fishing community, boats, coastal buildings and the movement of the Atlantic. The composition brings together architecture, landscape and community, presenting the lighthouse not simply as a landmark, but as a continuing witness to the history and transformation of the area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRendered within an aged, parchment-inspired scroll, the work reflects MINA’s wider exploration of \u003cstrong\u003eheritage, memory, place and cultural identity\u003c\/strong\u003e.
