This piece offers a different perspective on coastal safety equipment, focusing on a bright red lifebuoy container set against a backdrop of concrete sea defenses. The circular shape of the lifebuoy holder creates a striking focal point, its vivid color popping against the muted tones of its surroundings.
The photograph’s composition draws the eye from the foreground safety equipment to the horizon, where sea meets sky in a soft, hazy blend. Concrete barriers in the mid-ground add texture and depth to the image, their weathered surfaces telling silent stories of countless encounters with wind and wave.
This image continues the exploration of color in unexpected places, highlighting how essential safety equipment becomes an unintentional yet powerful visual element in coastal landscapes.
Together, these photographs from the “Fading Colours” series offer a fresh perspective on maritime infrastructure and safety equipment. They transform utilitarian objects into subjects of artistic contemplation, inviting viewers to reconsider the beauty present in functional coastal landscapes.
This diptych would make a captivating addition to any space, particularly appealing to those who appreciate maritime themes, industrial aesthetics, or explorations of color in unexpected places. Displayed side by side, these images create a dialogue about safety, design, and the human presence in coastal environments, serving as a daily reminder of the subtle interplay between function and form in our world.
