About the process of Voyatzoglou's work:

"While on the research vessel Weatherbird II, a CTD instrument was used to collect water samples at varying depths of St. Petersburg's bay. The samples were then used to create watercolor, ecomaterialistic pieces, reflecting on the plight of overfishing. The creatures depicted -- a blue crab and a bonnethead shark -- were both observed on this research journey. What would the bay look like without them? What if only their ghosts remained?"
