Requiem for a Madonna
Joseph P. Smith
Medium: Photographic giclee print on fine art, archival cotton paper (Edition 1 of 7)
Size: 54 cm x 40 cm x 3 cm
Year: 2022
Artwork Description: Shot in the narrow streets of the old part of Victoria, Gozo, this image shows the relentless effect of progress on the deeply cultural identity of the sister island. I found beauty in the textures and the irony of the composition, especially with the Madonna “looking” the other way.
