In 2021, on the heels of the COVID-19 pandemic, which, at its height, seemed to nearly halt the networks of international trade, Misrach began taking thousands of photographs of cargo ships as they moved to and from the Port of Oakland, California. In these monumental seascapes, cargo ships appear frozen in time  diminutive but stalwart  within an expansive, richly coloured confluence of sea, sky, and atmosphere. Eerie, sparse, and undeniably beautiful, Misrach's images abstractly trace multiple histories: the recent collapse and slow recovery of these seafaring trade routes, the confrontation of the human and natural environment in an era of climate disaster, and a rich lineage of maritime art.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46833140760734,"sku":"ADS-9781597115865","price":134.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781597115865.jpg?v=1778650071","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781597115865","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
