The painting St Jacut de la mer by Philippe-Emmanuel Amirault can be associated with Impressionism or Post-Impressionism, emphasizing atmosphere, light, and color rather than strict form. It depicts a coastal landscape in Brittany, featuring rocky formations and a high horizon line that directs the viewer’s gaze toward the sea, where worn, possibly abandoned boats float. The cool color palette—dominated by muted blues and grays—enhances a sense of decay and melancholy.

The choice of this painting is primarily based on the emotions it evokes. It becomes a trigger for a personal reflection on Kavala during winter: a quiet, almost motionless city with minimal activity, strong humidity, and a feeling of isolation. This landscape creates a dual emotional experience—sweet nostalgia for the past and melancholy for what has been lost or changed.

This emotional fluctuation is translated into a sound piece that functions as a narrative of memory. Sounds related to the maritime environment, such as ships and chains, are combined with an atmospheric drone that introduces the listener. A male voice is then heard, creating a sense of storytelling, while sound effects such as delay and low-frequency tones resembling a ship horn reinforce the impression of a flashback.

This presentation highlights the connection between image, sound, and memory as a means of creating an immersive, experiential narrative.
