    Honorable Mention

I am a Greek photographer whose practice is rooted in documentary approaches and an ongoing interest in womanhood, self-exploration, and the relationship between the body and its environment. ‘In Shape of Light and Darkness’ is a developing series that was created on Andros Island, a place where landscape, memory, and lived experience intersect. For this work, I turn the camera toward my own body as both subject and tool, using self-representation as a temporary method rather than a fixed practice. The photographs emerge from an intuitive and performative process.
