Queen of the Waves: Temples from the Deep
Armed and cloaked figures raise their arms and weapons towards a vast pale wave beyond an uneven landscape. The printed caption names the queen of the waves and the raising of her temples from deep waters. The image translates the narrative of Atlantis: The Book of the Angels into a confrontation between a small human company and the immense moving horizon.
