/The work
Laguna sensa turbio brings out exactly these stretches of brackish water, describing them through the depths of the sea bed beneath them, with plates of different colours, shapes and sizes.
Alongside the print, a vector image of the Venetian lagoon was made, with the corresponding stretch of sea bed picked out in red.
