“Aphrodites Anadynomenes”, “Venuses Rising from the Sea”, are a series of diachronic shots taken in various parts of Crete and especially on the east side of the island, my birthplace.

The airy female forms, naked and ethereal, released from taboos and the bonds of daily routine, become one with the landscape. They flirt with the nymphs, the mermaids and Poseidon, teasing the natural elements. They seem to want to transform themselves into living images of a secret fantasy. To return to the primordial source of life, exorcising the nightmarish loneliness and silence, giving a touch of hope and shedding light, more light on our dim everyday life.
