From a curious girl's gaze at a straw fence, to the fortified borders of the Middle East and Europe, fences have served various purposes throughout history. A Labrador Retriever peers through a picket fence, reminiscent of the idyllic American suburban life. But fences are not just symbols of separation or protection; they can also mark boundaries, keep out intruders, or even save lives. In the Middle East, the fence between Israel and the Palestinian territories in the West Bank near Ramallah stands as a contentious symbol of conflict. In Europe, the Berlin Wall once divided a city, a country, and a continent, with its infamous "Death Strip" and guard towers. Elsewhere, a fence at the Mt. Kitzbueheler Horn in Austria keeps hikers from straying off the path, while a warning sign on a beach in Germany keeps swimmers away from danger. A red and white bandrole on a lawn warns of private property, while autumn leaves hang gracefully on a simple fence. Fences come in all shapes, sizes, and materials, but their purpose remains constant: to mark boundaries, keep out unwanted intruders, and protect what is precious to us.
