The "The Raft of the Medusa" photography series comprises four works, reinterpreted from Théodore Géricault’s 19th-century Romantic masterpiece "The Raft of the Medusa." Taking the highly symbolic image of a disaster-stricken raft as its visual core, the series extends to Eugène Delacroix’s revolutionary "Liberty Leading the People," Gustave Courbet’s introspective realist "Studio," and Carlo Carrà’s socially charged depiction of conflict and resistance in "The Funeral of Galli, the Anarchist." Linking artistic traditions across Romanticism, Realism, and Futurism, the series spans multiple dimensions—disaster narratives, revolutionary ideals, self-reflection on reality, and social struggle—offering a contemporary photographic reinterpretation and reconstruction of classical painting imagery.
