Title: "An Odyssey in Hyder Blue"
Artist: Jinous
Bio: Beneath the full moon's quiet eye, a woman set out across the wine-dark sea. She carried no name, only flowers in her hair — mementos of a shore she could not forget. The waves rose and fell like the breath of an old god, and two white birds kept watch above her mast, guiding her course. She did not sail to find a place. She sailed to find herself. The blue stretched endlessly, deep as memory, and in its depths the sea seemed to whisper her name — the one she had lost,...

Title: The Same Blue
Artist: NARI (나리)
Bio: Korea and Greece never met, yet they wrote their whiteness in the same blue. The cobalt that Joseon painters brushed onto white porcelain and the blue of the Aegean — on shutters, on hulls, on the water — are two lives of one pigment.

Title: A Memory in Blue
Artist: Beanie Blossom
Bio: For this piece I used the strong blue and white contrast to focus on the feeling of Hydra rather than showing it in a very literal way. The church, the flowers and the deep blue give it that Greek atmosphere, but at the same time it feels a bit like an old memory or a moment from the past. I liked the idea of using blue not just as the colour of the image, but as the mood of it too.
