EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of a shipwreck on the coast of Little Curacao. The image showcases the remains of a small oil tanker that met its demise in 1988, after being built in 1964. Standing as a solemn testament to both solitude and destruction, this horizontal composition evokes a sense of melancholy. Located in the Leeward Dutch Antilles within the Caribbean's Lesser Antilles region, Little Curacao offers an idyllic backdrop for this scene. With no people present, one can truly appreciate the untouched nature of this remote location. The decaying steel structure serves as a stark reminder of human impact on our environment. Air pollution and water pollution are evident through the rusty and damaged remnants scattered along the coastline. This abandoned ruin stands as an unfortunate symbol of obsolete technology and waste. Despite its tragic history, there is an undeniable allure to this shipwreck amidst the waves crashing against it. The photographer expertly captures not only its physical decay but also highlights how nature reclaims what was once man-made. Frans Sellies' photography skillfully portrays both beauty and tragedy in equal measure with his depiction of this forgotten vessel on Little Curacao's beach.
