About "Silent Witness to a Forgotten Time"

by Gerry van Roosmalen

About the artwork

A silent witness to a troubled history, this old truck, weathered but not forgotten, stands at the abandoned US base Bluie East Two near Ikateq in East Greenland. Once a proud symbol of military strength, it is now a monument of reflection, surrounded by the timeless silence of the Arctic landscape.

At first glance, the tyres, still pitch-black and with clear tread, appear untouched by the years. But when touched, the sticky texture betrays the inevitable impermanence - even here, in the frozen solitude.

The contrast with the majestic, snow-capped mountains in the background is almost surreal. Without the remnants of World War II, this place could be the absolute embodiment of peace. This image captures a unique combination of human history and pristine nature - a reminder of what was and a call to reflect on what should never be again.
