The essence of decay and solitude comes alive in Vassilis Tangoulis‘ captivating photography series, “Last Trip”. Based in Patras, Greece, Tangoulis masterfully explores the melancholic beauty found in abandoned old boats, each vessel carrying an untold story of its final journey. His black and white long exposure technique accentuates the textures and contrasts of these forgotten relics, creating an evocative atmosphere that immerses us in a world of solitude and nostalgia. The forlorn boats, captured in poignant stillness, serve as metaphors for journeys left incomplete, dreams abandoned, and the silent whispers of time.
Through his lens, Tangoulis transforms these deteriorating vessels into timeless pieces of art, invoking a sense of ghostly tranquility and reflective melancholy. The stark monochromatic palette further emphasizes the desolation and the haunting beauty intrinsic to these maritime ruins. “Last Trip” by Vassilis Tangoulis is not merely a photographic series, but a poetic exploration of abandonment and the silent echoes of past voyages, inviting us to contemplate the deeper emotions tied to objects left adrift in time.
