HOME is the place where you feel safe and secure. It is the place where you care for and raise your family, taming the wild and creating an oasis amidst harsh conditions. HOME is the place where you receive help from people through solidarity in difficult times, where you become part of a broader sense of community and empathy. HOME is the place where you are free to transcend boundaries and dream of your future through love. ph1 from "CRITICAL LANDSCAPES" ph2 from Euboia Wildfire ph3 from "Muhallebi" zine #home #critical_landscapes #muhallebi_zine

The exit that we weren't allowed during lockdown and that everyone had to invent for themselves. Share-feeding is: those with whom you share food and the hearth. Stories gather around the hearth. Flavors carry memories and smells create identity. Time and the effort to determine it. To unfreeze it. Not to lose life. To create. We share life through images. We develop strategies of survival made of memories and dreams. 4)"Black Love" is about accepting disarray as a main state of feeling. It is about finding the courage of making «dreams of oneself» in/or despite of a hard pressing world, and looking for a little bit of tenderness in an extremely violent and stressful environment. 5)STRANGER THAN PARADISE A rough mountain region in Greece. The locals, living with their own rules of community, surviving with nature (non-human), some of them never having left, some returning from the alienated life of the cities. And we, with our roots in the life of the countryside, from which we are both trying to escape and to hold on to its values. Dis-rootedness and a return to our future.

New Year: The beach where we were walking to catch some winter sun, some of us going for a swim, children running around, couples making dreams for the year to come, is turning into “Athens Riviera”. Turning my back towards the construction site of the former airport, you can see the 7 shadows of grey of the mountains down to the South of Peloponnes.

You could see “Muhallebi” as part of “Nourishing Memory” at booth 64 at the @platformsproject , an Athens based artfair. Besides the usual being worn out after it ended, I remember all the team having a good time and I left with my zine printed and the “sister project” “hearth” by maximiliano tineo, from “hearth to hearth”…Thank you to all fellow artists @mady_lykeridou , @terpsichorikouzouni , @maxitineo , @16rishabhgupta , curated by @ana_nunez_rodriguez , big thanks to @photinipap and @postcardsfromhomenet

✨ Happy that “Muhallebi” is going to be part of the collective project “Nourishing Memory” ✨ Delighted to announce that the project will participate at @platformsproject 2025 🌍 Colombia · Greece · India · France Home is made up of flavors and rituals, where eating means more than just having a meal. When we talk about food, we talk about stories, memories, and experiences that cross places and generations. Food nourishes memory, identity, and bonds that shape the story of who we are. The works gathered here look at food as a ritual that keeps history and identity alive, reimagined, and shared. From the communal Ramadan table in Cairo to intimate family recipes in Greece, from archives of migration to mythic reinterpretations of the Lotus Eaters, each project reveals how food shapes our individual and collective memory. Here, “home” is not a fixed wall but a practice of sharing, continuously reimagined with every meal, every story, every bite.

"Muhallebi" "Beauty the forbidden fruit youth blossoms into puberty femininity sweet confusion" Muhallebi (Mahalabyia, Malebi…) is a sweet known in Turkey and the Arab countries around the Mediterranean. It gave its name to a personal photographic study about the importance of food, flavors, cooking and nourishing, which brings people together around a hearth. I combined photos from the lockdown period which tested our human urge to gather, embrace and share, with pictures of meals and the corresponding recipes and short poems on food, rituals, home and fear. "Stories gather around the hearth Flavors carry memories and scents create identity. Flavors have always traveled, always crossed borders and broadened horizons From East to West and from South to North." Dedicated to my friends and neighbors fellow “travelers” during lockdown.
