Light Matters

“The matter is from where one sees the sky. I have seen it from the very middle of the sea”.

Odysseas Elitis

“Light Matters” is a series of photographs that were created from March 2020 to May 2021, in my effort to stay connected with myself and find inner balance by defining what was important to me during this period of time.

Starting to photograph every day since the beginning of the pandemic, was an intuitive personal response to ‘’fight-flight or freeze’’ mechanism that was automatically activated with the strict restrictions, continuous lockdowns and the many losses we all faced in different levels. It was also a way of self-exploration during a time of shadows, that helped me deal with my inner shadows. The stage of these photographs was the daily itinerary from my house to the nearby park in my neighborhood, during the long and strict quarantine, or on the same beach I frequented visited during the 2020 summer, when transportation to other areas of Athens was permitted. 

These photos plus 4 short stories, are the content of Light Matters, self published photobook. Find out more about the book in the relevant section.
