Summary:

The sea is one of the dominant elements of the Greek landscape. The nations coastlines trace over fifteen thousand kilometres of inlets and bays, capes and peninsulas, while the waters beyond its shores belong to four major and five minor bodies of water which the Greeks divide into twelve distinct seas. Scattered over the waves like die cast by giants, 1500 islands large and small in dozens of groups form patterns where they fell. The effect can be likened to a galaxy containing an infinitude of heavenly bodies which, unique in themselves, form part, too, of unique constellations. In this album, we have sought to convey a similar impact by juxtaposing images and focusing on the similarities between them which are so often invisible or hard to discern. The pairs of images function contrapuntally and harmonically to highlight the inexhaustible variety of the Greek sea.
