Honoured to be part of the Μελιτζάzz Festival this year.
The festival invited artists to respond to this year’s theme, κοινότητα (community). My submission is a diptych titled Alone Together.
Here’s the artist statement that accompanies the work:
Photographed on analogue film in Milos, this diptych began as an observation of bodies gathering at the edge of the island to watch the sunset. The figures share a physical space, but not necessarily a social one. They remain separate, absorbed in their own gestures, conversations, and silences, while briefly participating in the same moment.
They do not become a single whole, but rather separate lives moving in parallel. What interests me is this tension between proximity and distance: the way a crowd can exist without becoming a collective. Here, community is not defined by unity, but by coexistence, rhythm, and the temporary sharing of a common horizon.
