"We ate it all together"
A few words about the project:
Watercolor on paper, 28×38 cm.
(self-portrait of an insect, 2025)
The work is inspired by Kafka's protagonist in The Metamorphosis to comment on the position of the individual in contemporary Greek reality, as summarized in Theodoros Pangalos' phrase "We ate it all together." This phrase reflects the Greek economy's crisis of overconsumption and collective or imposed guilt.
With unreasonable dignity, modern Greeks accept alienation, poverty, responsibility—even when it has been transformed into something no one wants to see.
