Echoes of Old Boats

Echoes of Old Boats is a long poem written upon the harbor. These abandoned vessels are not merely material remnants but vessels of time itself. The rusted bolts, peeling paint, and fractured wood bear the handwriting of history, inscribed again and again by salt and wind. Once carriers of labor and memory, they now stand silent, transformed into allegories of impermanence. The camera does not only document but converses with time: every crack becomes a story, every reflection a dream. These images reveal not just the physical decay of boats, but also the fading of cultures, livelihoods, and epochs bound to the sea. The old boats have not perished—they persist in fractures and reflections, whispering the poetry of existence in another form.
