Fishbone (in the Throat)

Fishbone (in the Throat) is a painting that represents the map of Korčula’s Old Town, where its cobbled streets are structured in the shape of a fish skeleton, a technique of town planning that was applied to trap the sea breeze for the purposes of natural air-conditioning in medieval towns.

By reshuffling and muddling up the streets on a town plan, this work refers to the suffocating (choking) experience of a closed community existence.
