The work is composed of an overlapping of images, captured at the archaeological site of Mycenae on the Argos plain in Greece.
The final image, although figurative, has an enigmatic aspect: a wall, a moat, a well is surmounted by a sky of silver, the most noble metal in ancient Greece.
"Voragem" is a wall, a well, a ditch, and it is also the optimism of the bright sky that covers everyone.
