Some appear to be merchants and voyagers, navigating boats that float both on water and in the air, blurring the lines between sea and sky. Others gather in groups or handle curiously designed contraptions and instruments, contributing to the sense of a lively community caught in a moment of celebration or festivity.Januškevičius employs a delicate, almost iridescent palette that imbues the scene with a light, airy quality.
