This photograph belongs to a series of surrealistic pictures Daniel Gendre set in his studio in Küsnacht, Switzerland, where he worked from 1975 to 2010.
There was a flow of creativity, vinyl decorations and the plastic boat. Very 1970s.
It might remind us of the adventure tale about dreams and hope "Crimson Sails" written by Alexander Grin.
