Blue roots, blue veins

This photo series is a deeply personal exploration of the profound connection between identity and place, with blue as its guiding thread. Missolonghi, my birthplace, is more than a home—it is the foundation of my artistic soul, the root of my creativity, and the wellspring of my memories. "Blue Roots, Blue Veins" reflects how this historic town has shaped me. The vibrant hues of blue mirror the essence of Missolonghi: the tranquil lagoons, the ever-changing sky, and the shimmering waters of the Gulf of Patras. These blues are not just colors but veins that pulse with the lifeblood of my past, carrying the stories, emotions, and dreams that define who I am. Each photograph captures the dialogue between this cherished land and my personal journey. From the weathered olive trees and salt-sprinkled marshes to the quiet streets steeped in history, the images evoke the deep connection I feel to Missolonghi’s timeless beauty. The town's legacy of inspiring artists, including the great romantic poet Lord Byron, echoes in my work, as I continue to find meaning in its serene landscapes and enduring spirit. This series is my homage to Missolonghi, where the blues of the earth and sky flow into my veins, shaping my identity and grounding my artistic vision. Through these photographs, I invite you to see the world as I do—a place where the color blue ties us to our roots, our memories, and the essence of who we are.
