Project : Minimalist Athens Street Photography - Urban Isolation

This photographic project works abstractly by isolating the protagonists and making the meanings clearer.

I focus my attention on the transition, on the limit, on a point between presence and absence, my gaze revealing the delicate balance between "I am here" and "I disappear".

By isolating human figures on huge architectural surfaces, the work highlights the rapidly growing loneliness of urban life. At the same time, I provide breathing space for people to express their feelings and speak. Negative space widens the gaps, digs deeper into alienation, and frames isolation so sharply. So this phenomeno becomes visible and makes people stop and feel something.

Perhaps this is how a space for contact and meeting is created internally. But no one guarantees the success of the approach...

However, there is also something positive that I would like these photographs to highlight.

Within these silent, solitary gaps on the city's streets , we might see ourselves more clearly, rejecting all the other roles we usually play for other people.
