View From the Sea
View from the Sea is a photographic/video project Giita Hammond made during the first year and a half of Covid, while swimming in the sea at the 40ft and Sandycove. In a time of restrictions, swimming in the sea and documenting it became her antidote; freedom and an abandonment of rules. The project includes seascapes and portraits of the women she swam with.
