«Athens 42 Days- The Undisclosed City» documents a unique moment in the life of the Greek metropolis: the 6 weeks of the lockdown of the covid pandemic in the spring of 2020. It is body of work with photographs of deserted streets interwoven with portraits of individuals in enforced isolation in their homes. The work as a whole captures not only the starkness of the empty cityscape, but also the intimacy and vulnerability of domestic life in this era of loneliness and fear. Carefully sequenced like a musical score, the book unfolds as a poetic visual journey through Athens' modern urban fabric

Caesura is a collection of photographs about the transitory state of refugees and migrants who entered Greece after crossing the Aegean Sea –the infamous Death passage- on their way from their homelands to the land of promise and hope: Europe. Typically the term caesura means the brief silence in the middle of a poetic verse or a musical phrase, used in this context as a metaphor for a silent break amid two violent periods. CAESURA does not attempt to provide answers or make a historic statement about this mass exodus. Rather, it seeks to raise questions about the human condition and identity
