Statement:
During 2010, Greece came under the supervision of IMF and EU. The fear of poverty and financial recession has built up a feeling of social unrest. Memories of the Greek riots of 2008, according to the media, have created the expectation in Greece and abroad, of a new, more violent riot.
Influenced by this atmosphere, i create a series of actions. At the time i want to give form to feelings intuitively provoked by the signs of unrest we received from all around us. I use the objects and figures as symbols that were plentifully scattered in the ruins of my society. I draw metaphors for the financially devastated country.
I doubt the efficiency of violent rioting and search for a new way. Essentially i have found nothing yet, however, i enjoy searching.
