The Breakwater is one of the most nautical Art Deco hotels on Ocean Drive and a striking piece in Charlotte's Structural Series. Using her signature multi layer photographic technique, Charlotte builds the artwork from her own photographs of the hotel and the life around it. The central tower rises straight up the middle of the frame, the name BREAKWATER running vertically up both of its sides. Thin blue horizontal lines cross the white façade on either side, the detail that gives the building its crisp, seaside look. Palm leaves spray outward across the tower. In the sky above, sailboats drift across the water, layered soft and far away. Below the building, the beach fills the lower edge with people gathered under blue and white striped umbrellas, recalling the blue of the façade, the architecture and the beach echoing each other. Look longer and the artwork keeps giving. The crowd below is full of small moments, someone walking, someone resting, someone you did not notice the first time. There is always another person to find. The result is not a photograph of The Breakwater. It is The Breakwater the way it faces the ocean, every day. This work is part of The Structural Series, Charlotte Fonne's ongoing exploration of Miami Beach's iconic Art Deco hotels, also featured in Lumas galleries worldwide. Each image in the composition is personally photographed by Charlotte, ensuring a genuine and unique piece. Signed, numbered, and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. Limited edition. Only 5 to 20 prints per size exist in the world.
