A Fortress Defined
The design prominently features the earthwork design of Fort Putnam. The rough, textured look of the earthen walls symbolizes the fort's resilience and the desperate measures taken to defend Charleston. The angular bastions, carefully rendered, highlight the strategic layout designed for maximum defensive coverage. The use of a distressed aesthetic hints at the harsh conditions the soldiers faced.
Key Elements of Defense

The positioning of these cannons underscores their critical role in protecting Charleston Harbor. The suggestion of a partially underground powder magazine, shrouded in shadow, represents the fort's logistical operations. The placement underscores the ever-present threat of artillery bombardment faced by the fort's inhabitants.
Life in the Trenches
The design subtly hints at the conditions faced by Confederate soldiers. The suggestion of rudimentary soldiers' barracks or tents within the fort provides context. This design element adds humanity to the fort's layout. The overall composition creates a sense of the challenging and relentless environment of the war.
Symbolism and Legacy
