Predilection – The View Within and Beyond our Rose-Colored Glasses

Creator

Jaupi, Daniela

Abstract

As the camera lens zooms in on the bustling streets of Athens, one comes face to face with distinct, coexisting elements of the centuries-old Greek tradition. Modern and traditional structures, vast highways and scenic alleyways, grandiose architecture, and apartment complexes make up a city of contrasts. However, this duality is not only evident in Athens’ beauty but also in its less glamorous aspects. In the beautifully paved streets and adjacent to the monumental architecture and imposing statues, one can view the less fortunate side of the city. Athens, then as another Janus, embodies two contrasting faces, each reflecting a complex narrative of grandeur and tribulation.
