Photographer’s Note

At the surface of a pond, emerging from the aquatic vegetation, the pieces of a giant puzzle slowly drift about.
We can guess that the puzzle represents the famous Botticelli painting, the Birth of Venus. Venus (goddess of Love and of Beauty), born from the sea, standing on a great shell, is pushed towards the shore by two divinities of the wind. A nymph is
preparing to cover her with a cloak.
Thus, as the wind nudged Venus towards land, so it plays here with the pieces of the puzzle, trying to arrange them. But some pieces are missing; the puzzle will never be finished. And the lush vegetation of the banks is progressively invading the pond.
