EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant essence of Malta, Europe. In the picturesque fishing village of Marsaxlokk, traditional wooden fishing boats known as luzzu grace the sparkling Mediterranean waters. These colorful vessels are not only a symbol of tradition but also carry with them a fascinating legend. According to Maltese folklore, these luzzus are adorned with strikingly painted eyes on their prows, believed to be the eyes of Osiris - an ancient Egyptian god associated with protection and rebirth. The presence of these mesmerizing eyes is said to safeguard fishermen from treacherous weather conditions during their perilous expeditions at sea. The island's rich history and deep-rooted traditions come alive through this image. The archipelago's distinct charm can be felt in every brushstroke that brings life to this print. From its southern shores, where Marsaxlokk lies nestled amidst stunning coastal scenery, one can witness firsthand the fusion between European influences and Maltese heritage. As you gaze upon this photograph, allow yourself to be transported into a world where time seems suspended; where centuries-old customs intertwine seamlessly with modern-day living. Let your imagination wander through the narrow streets of this enchanting village and soak in its authentic atmosphere. This remarkable print by KS captures not just an image but a story - one that celebrates Malta's unique identity while paying homage to its seafaring past and resilient spirit.
