"It is not difficult to judge history. What is difficult is to participate actively in the unfolding of history, shouldering, in that moment, the moral consequences it entails." — Vasilis Rafailidis
A woman is depicted weaving an imaginary textile with invisible thread. She is focused and dedicated to the process, yet the effort does not seem to yield any results. If the warp threads symbolize the sea borders, the process of weaving, metaphorically, signifies the effort to create "waves of white foam." It is a symbolic act of transforming the concept of an inhospitable place (the sea) into a place that is welcoming, bright, without borders and geographical restrictions. A utopian place where human pain is transmuted into harmonious and creative coexistence.
