Voices of the sea
Giorgos Kypris
Artist Giorgos Kypris (b.1954) focuses on the human spirit and especially on the wild aspects of the human race, emphasizing his dominance of the other forms of life. “Voices of the Sea” (1996), participated in the exhibition “Riches of Cyprus” (1996), and belongs to a series of works by the artist with fish as the main theme. The artist sees the dead fish as victims of dietary needs for the survival of human species, while on the other hand for him they symbolize the ecological imprint of man on the environment. In addition, this piece elicits feelings of void, loneliness and vanity. Whereas, with a different interpretation, the fish aloud to matters such as immigration and the political reality of migration in general.
