/The work
These are very particular places, characteristic of the area, which owe their origin to the gradual erosion of the lagoon and the lowering of its bed, brought about by pollution that often comes from the Malamocco inlet itself.
Alongside the print, a vector image of the Venetian lagoon was made, with the corresponding stretch of sea bed picked out in red.

The cut edge, the point where the metal opened, the colours overlaying one another.
