In this still image, the Eiffel Tower appears in negative, blending with the luminous trails in the background, likely evoking the Bastille Day celebrations and their fireworks. Collage techniques are also employed to superimpose blue and red ribbons (reminiscent of the French flag) onto the Eiffel Tower. This image testifies to Jahan's experimental freedom and his exploration of montage and photographic techniques.
