Across northern France and Flanders (northern Belgium), the brutal clashes between Allied and Central Powers soldiers tore up fields and forests, tearing up trees and plants and wreaking havoc on the soil beneath. But in the warm early spring of 1915, bright red flowers began peeking through the battle-scarred land: Papaver rhoeas, known variously as the Flanders poppy.
Struck by the sight of bright red blooms on broken ground, McCrae wrote a poem, “In Flanders Field,” in which he channeled the voice of the fallen soldiers buried under those hardy poppies.
Since that period this bright coloured flower started a symbolic link with the word remembrance in the world of human kind. Till date I look for colours when I define hope and this frame gives me hope and a way to look for path even in uncertainty.
Here in this story the model is that particular flower in the barren land where once the word remembrance use to linger in the memories of humankind and souls.
