Reverse descriptionA woman`s face, her hair blowing in the wind, symbolizing Europe, with the word `EUROPA` in the vertical line, gives the series its name. Stars scattered throughout the effigy`s hair, unfurled standards and, in the caption, twelve circles featuring the euro symbol `€`, evoke the twelve founding countries of the euro zone. In the foreground, the vintage `2015` is surrounded by two different dates.
