“Flaming trees”
2017-2021
The present series of photographs attempts to explore and highlight reflective approaches to 'landscape' through the research and experiential practices of the photographic image and its creative digital transformations.
By the term 'landscape' we mean the 'natural space' that surrounds us, which at the same time highlights the cultural characteristics of the environment in which we live.
Exploring the human experience in relation to the natural environment, this series seeks to explore transitional landscapes, familiar and unfamiliar spaces, in order to highlight new readings and processes, through artistic digital practice.
By creating composite digital photographic images, I aim to highlight the changes and transformations that the natural environment undergoes due to the human intervention, such as a fire. The Flaming trees series is dedicated to the fire of the North Evia region in Greece, where I come from. The digital images express the
changes the landscape has undergone, which have completely changed the shape of the island.
