Scars

The side of a hull is interesting on so many levels. As an abstraction, photographed somewhat out of context, it becomes mysterious but engaging. I love its palette. And it's pure utility, ugly. It is also a record of events in every blemish, every pock. And there are many. It is a story of constancy, geography, erosion, branding, man-hours, torsional stress, and a perfect record of it all.
