    Every element has to earn its colour.

    Colour brings the past into the present, but with archival photography, that immediacy carries a responsibility. This transition from black-and-white into colour is not a decorative flourish; it represents a research process grounded in the vehicle, the unit, the location, the date and the material realities of the moment recorded by the camera.

    The original Signal Corps photograph remains the historical anchor. The colourized half is a researched reconstruction intended to narrow the distance between their world and ours without abandoning the evidence. Every element has to earn its colour.
