Healthy Dolphins - Healthy Seas
Mosaic art depicting the famous Dolphins fresco of Knossos, made from photos from Healthy Seas activities.
This artwork was created to support the “Save Your Breath” campaign for the non-profit environmental initiative "Healthy Seas". The mosaic consists of over 1,500 photographs from "Healthy Seas" activities over the past 5 years. The mosaic recreates the dolphin fresco found in Knossos in the late Minoan period. Minoan civilization was born and developed in Crete 5000 years ago. Somewhere around 2000 and 1600 BC, the Minoans took over Santorini and settled in Akrotiri.
One of the most common themes in Minoan art is nature.
The “Save Your Breath” event in Santorini was a long-time dream for the Healthy Seas team, and they wanted their visual communication to represent that. The Minoan dolphin mosaic depicts an abundant marine scene, which is the ultimate goal of the Healthy Seas Initiative.
