"In the middle of the Aegean Sea, where the sky and the sea blend together. Where you can feel yourself as infinite, capable of connecting to all things. Here, immense possibilities unfold before you." I was writing this in my notebook while wandering among the islands of Sifnos and Milos, part of the Cyclades complex. The islands of Greece are beautiful, with spectacular seas, excellent food and a constant feeling of peace and relaxation that envelops visitors. For me, they were revelatory—a landscape for confronting my language, my photography and my memories. A journey that brought forth my own way of telling the world through images. An intimate sphere, based on the experience of being in the place and listening to the people. Based on encounters. Like the one with Apostolos, a farmer from Sifnos, whom I met while he was uprooting his vegetable crops because they were infected with a disease. He spoke of the scarcity of rain, the changing weather due to climate change, and the feeling of helplessness in the face of it. Or the one with Costa, a well-known figure to anyone visiting the village of Kastro on Sifnos. He raises sheep and goats on the hill near the village, living off that and managing a small bar where he often talks about revolution and how Europe has become just a dream in an empty box. Or the encounters with tourists on the island of Milos, busy visiting the beautiful beaches and coasts but often indifferent to the transformations that mass tourism brings. Abandoned cars no longer in use due to the presence of multiple rental cars, places turning into dumps for discarded items and junkyards selling washing machine and dishwasher parts, all in pursuit of a sometimes predatory tourism economy. Or the one with the feast of the island's patron saint at the monastery of St. John Siderianos, where the spirit of community and togetherness becomes a cultural and identity moment that can take you back to your childhood memories. These islands thus become one of many places in transformation from the old traditional-agricultural-cultural world to a modern-rational-economic one. In this journey, I sought to follow these transformations, observe the changes, and find my own voice.
