About the Artwork

An image of ‘Petra tou Romiou’, also known as ‘Aphrodite's Rock’, is depicted. A different hexagonal coloured form is present in each image making reference to the crystalline structure of the limestone rock. The hexagon highlights the secret lives of colours in relation to the eight letters that make up the word Aphrodite.
