About The Artwork
In this photograph, the artist wanted to capture the fresh and bold traditional colours which emblazon the traditional fishing boats of the island of Malta, as well as the lines and curves which make up the boats and which are excellent subjects for modern abstract images. The boats come in two different versions - a smaller, passenger carrying version called the "Dghajsa", and the larger fishing vessel called the "Luzzu". The eyes, which are found on each front part of the boats, are said to come down from Phoenician times when sailors used to paint the same large eyes on their ships; Egyptian sailors treated their ships with the same artwork. The image is part of a series of images which all take a closer look at the boats of Malta.

William was born in Malta in 1972 and spent his early childhood years in London, England as his family had moved to Bethnal Green, where they lived for seven years before relocating back to the sunny island in the Mediterranean in 1979. The seeds for his passion for photography were planted when his older sister gave him a Kodak Instamatic camera loaded with film for his 6th birthday. He proceeded to the back garden and his first-ever photos were shot on that day; those first photos are still cherished and kept safe in an old photo album, even if the colours have slightly faded away due to age.
