Set against Chios I tried to create an idealized reality in a fantasy world sensitive and romantic. Walking around the island I discovered  hidden treasures that gave me inspiration. These ruins used to be  full of life and the beaches full of people. The viewer is confronted with thirty different approaches of  the island. My goal was to capture Chios from a perspective that goes beyond the mundane photo presentation of maps and tourist guides. Daily life is captured from a different point of  view. I added human presence with spontaneous  figures either stationary or  moving, peeking  and entangled in the landscape. The colors were added  in an exaggerated way to give tension to the image.  . Intersection of disparate elements to give a new perspective. Sensations, thoughts, emotions, perfumes, memories, moments, without words.
