"Detain: A Journey Through Time and Space" In the ancient land of Egypt, Pharaoh Akhenaten's rule was marked by controversy and change. His unconventional beliefs led to his depiction in a stunning relief at El-Amarna, showcasing his unique appearance and influence. Fast forward to 1621 in La Cite, where a vibrant color litho captures the essence of life between Pont Notre-Dame and Pont au Change. The bustling streets tell tales of trade, culture, and perhaps even moments of detainment. Meanwhile, another glimpse into Egypt's history reveals an intriguing image of a hand reaching out for a bird on an exquisite piece of art from El-Amarna. What could this symbolize? Is it freedom sought or captivity endured? Across the Atlantic Ocean in 1776 New York City, Mrs. Murray opens her home to British soldiers during the American Revolution. Was this hospitality genuine or merely a form of detainment disguised as entertainment? Moving ahead to 1925 Ellis Island, we witness scenes that embody both hope and apprehension. A milkman pours milk for young French immigrants while distribution occurs among women and children. Were these acts gestures of kindness or methods used to keep them detained within their societal roles? In contrast, Bouck White's arrest in 1914 sheds light on political activism gone awry; his disruption leading him down a path towards detainment rather than reform. The year is now 1811 when fears over French decrees spark concerns about trade embargoes through Federalist handbills circulating throughout America. Could these warnings be seen as necessary precautions or attempts at unjust detainment? Returning once more to New York City but this time in 1902 Ellis Island unveils its detention pen atop the main building - an area where immigrants were held temporarily before entering America's melting pot society. From Pharaohs' reigns to European settlements across centuries.
