What colour will the sea be in 100 years?
According to recent research, the sea will turn darker blue due to the effects of global warming. Starting from this scientific prophecy, George Stamatakis transferred his underwater photographs to silk and dyed them with Japanese indigo. This exhibition looks beyond the postponed Olympics, a chaotic 2020, and portrays a future landscape that never existed in our memories.
