Amidst the turbulent waves of the sea sails the American schooner Karina, mirrored in the artistic brushstrokes of Ludovici's painting of the graceful dancer Karina in 1916. As the world around them shifted during WW1, both the dancer and the ship found new roles. The Women's Land Army saw Karina and her pupils toil on the farmlands, while the schooner Karina remained anchored. In a patriotic display, they danced in tableaus to boost morale. Meanwhile, above the tumultuous seas, Earth bore the brunt of five hurricanes, a stark reminder of the raw power of nature.
