Photography Project - Eleusis Ship Graveyard

The environment integrates you as if by magic, while you feel your senses already in sync with the grey industrial landscape where ships rest their old, rusted hulls. Sounds, like whispers of the wind on the antennas and masts, challenge you to stay still and listen to their deepest secrets. There, next to the still-active shipyard where a new vessel is being born, you can mentally converse with the ghosts of shipwrecks. The workers, the local fishermen, and the guards of the area's small shipyards are an integral part of the aesthetic, as if they share a special bond and secrets with the ships.
