Unknown Couples, 2016 - Present
The Unknown Couples, a photographic series was created in Glasgow, in 2016, when I first came across two young people sitting next to each other on a bridge with their backs turned against me. I found it intriguing how as a passer-by, I took the time to stop and observe this moment in their lives, and to label it as romantic. Although at times, time rarely permitted me to see if they were truly affectionate with one another.
In the few minutes, and at times seconds, I had at my disposal to photograph them, I always wondered who these people were. What their relationship with one another was, and how their relationship would unravel over time. A hopeless romantic myself, I wanted to view them as couples, who to this day are still together somewhere in the world, sharing beautiful moments of daily life.
Following the original photograph in Glasgow, I have been photographing ‘Unknown Couples’ all over the world, with some places being, Paris, France, Athens, Greece, and Cornwall, United Kingdom.
Sweet VS Rough, 2021
Lost In Translation, 2020
This year has left us all isolated and confused, and I’d be lying if the times I had to pick myself up from the ground were a few. I know a few people close to me have felt the same- all individually battling with their demons.
This photographic series is an ode to the versatility of emotions that many of us have experienced this past year. Pain, eagerness, joy, inner peace, confusion- how perplexed and complicated life can be at times. Yet, Lost in Translation, is not just a complicated state of being. It is a deep desire for unity.
Perhaps, we do not have to go through life alone.
Perhaps when we speak our truth, everything starts to make more sense.
Perhaps we are stronger than we think.
Actually, for that I am certain.
Norwegian Wood, 2021
I’m not quite sure how to explain this, but I was walking my dog at the park near my house, and I came across these tree barks that made me feel very, out of the blue, melancholic.
I went really close to one particular one, and while I was observing its flaky surface, all of a sudden, what I have been feeling like all these months started to settle.
I thought these trees have such deep roots, as they are connected, in this invisible network. Yet, they stay rooted to the ground, enduring rain, wind, and time; always in the same scenery, with nowhere to go and no way out.
I thought about how we have been living in these confined spaces for months, lacking human touch, breathing in and out our meaningful existence.
I ran home and grabbed my camera, and for a moment, I felt as though I was paying tribute to these trees' life.
I felt as though, somehow, I was honouring their existence.
What I Found in the Water, 2019
I constantly look at the future like a thunder on the horizon.
They say a thunder never hits the same place twice, but my concerns of what is to come as I stay on the same spot, are constant and repetitive.
As though being hit multiple times.
As though I died and came back to life, over and over and over again.
People around me tell me to relax, but I don’t know how.
I’ve always had this electric current pulsing through my body, and everything I touched burned, and came back as energy within me.
The future. the future. the future.
Is it possible that we sometimes think about it too much? So much that we forget of the now. the now. the now.
I wonder how we'd feel if we were able to see those fleeting moments of time pass in front of our eyes. Would that make us more relaxed or nervous?
I don’t know.
I want to float on water.
Yet, the thought of being electrocuted takes over me.
Identity: Restored, 2018
Identity: Restored, 2018, is a photographic series that aims to document and explore the identity of a young man as he experiments with his identity in a Greek societal context. By challenging conformity and the male stereotype, this young man invites us all to reflect on what we think when we first glance at him, as questions about his identity and the journey he has undertaken arise. For example, did this young man starts to present himself in a flamboyant way only to end up to conform to societal standards? Which one of the photos is more “normal” and “acceptable”? Which one of the photos in the series, is the one that makes this identity “restored”?
I Wait For You In a Bathtub Full of Tears, 2018
I Wait For You in a Bathtub Full of Tears, 2018, is an ode to the female sacrifice. Inspired by Greek mythology, the young woman longs and anticipates for her lover, in a state that as Euripides puts it in his play “Alcestis”, is “both alive and dead”.
