Visual Fun Facts
The photograph on the cover, awalkaday 251-2022, was shot, edited and published online prior to the installation of a sculpture on the same site inside a public park in Namur (Wallonia, Belgium).
This black-and-white photo captured a fleeting moment in time before a renowned sculpture was moved to its current and permanent location. It preserves for ages a romantic outdoor scene: a couple of people sitting in the open air on the grass under a glowing tree.
Sculpted in bronze by Belgian artist Nat Neujean, The Daughters of Water (1951) depicts two intertwined nymphs, symbolizing two European rivers: Meuse and Sambre. The colorful photographs of the sculpture were taken on the 8th day of May in 2024, a day that commemorates the second war-ending victory of democracy over fascist ideologies across Europe in the mid-20th century.
awalkaday 251-2022 and The Daughters of Water both have their roots in a 19th century park named after the first Queen of the Belgians, Louise-Marie. Notice the timeless traits of two art forms grounding a duo — one in human form and another in metallic form — in the shade of a slowly aging tree.
Ethereum Domain Names
Four ENS domains, owned by daqhris.eth and named after Belgian towns and rivers, have been decorated with awalkaday photographs. The local landscape was mapped and displayed on an Ethereum blockchain naming protocol to celebrate a rare week of international conferences in Belgium: EthCC [7] & ETHGlobal Brussels in the summer of 2024.
