"Greece, Poseidon at Sunset."
Description
"When I landed in Athens, I didn’t expect to feel anything familiar. And yet, everything felt like déjà vu: the balconies, the chaos, the sun that painted the same light I knew from my childhood in Sicily. It was like stepping into an alternate version of home, one where the language changed, but the rhythm of life, the gestures, and even the dysfunctions remained the same. I walked the streets not as a tourist, but as someone returning to something already written inside me. There was comfort in the shared spaces, the slowness of people, the music at night. But also frustration, with buses that never came and rules that bent with the heat. Through my lens, I tried to hold both: the melancholy of what my hometown could have become, and the joy of finding echoes of it, still alive, somewhere else. Athens didn't erase the distance between places, but it softened it. And perhaps, for a moment, it softened me too."Try it!
