Extending from the solid ground of the mainland, the walkways stretch toward the water, forming small, artificial paths to walk on the still surface and view the waves from a fresh vantage point. From the seafront, a strip of damp wood pierces the marine surface, which in turn wets the sand, creating a golden-orange gradient like a Bower Roebuck fabric. Early in the morning, the air is milky, resembling a delicate Milior fabric that blends the whitish sky with the faintly blue sea. Sometimes, these walkways become the site of interesting encounters. On a solitary stroll, Fashion Tex accessories cross paths with a pelican resting undisturbed on the edge of the pier. On an overcast day, no boats are docked, and the occasional strong waves crash against the concrete wharf, creasing like a Flame print. Among the rocks, a print by Estampación Digital del Mediterraneo depicts the stormy sea at sunset on a wild beach. The motion of the sea carves its surroundings near an angled bridge that bends to the twists and turns of nature. Venturing slightly away from the shore of a smooth lake, corrugated cardboard receipt holders by Graf & Co admire its contours. Beneath an old dock, in the shadow of a lighthouse, a mirror reflects the fragmented lights of the sky like a fabric by Nimue - Compagnia della Lana - D’Este. Rectangular, floating blocks allow relaxation in the middle of a basin, where the soft hues of early evening are interrupted by opaque geometries, reminiscent of a Joseph H. Clissold & Son fabric. A Mainetti Reca label ascends to high altitudes, among towering mountains and snowy peaks tinged with violet and orange — a rare spectacle to capture and etch into memory. By the end of the day, the water, now devoid of the day’s colours, takes on the shade of darkness. Yet, in that final blackness, a faint bronze glow lingers, much like a Lanificio Caverni fabric.
