La Révolution
These are the three French words most painted, carved, pressed into lead type, and struck onto coin. Liberté. Égalité. Fraternité. The Republic's motto was debated, revised, and fought over over a decade of extraordinary violence and political invention. The Revolution was visible through the iconography, not the words. Phrygian bonnet on pike. Fasces bound in iron. Marianne's silhouette was stark. Heart-pinned cockade. These were declarations, each image carrying the weight of a civilization reinventing itself from scratch. This collection reinterprets Revolutionary France's emblems, symbols, and graphic intelligence as objects for those who understand that great design has always been political.
