“Postcards from Home” was an artistic workshop that invited participants to explore the idea of home through memory, archives and personal narratives.
My contribution emerged from a deep emotional need to reconnect with my parents and with moments that shaped my sense of belonging. I used old family photographs and combined them with present-day images from my own life, creating small visual conversations between past and present.
Each postcard becomes a gesture of remembrance — an intimate attempt to define what ‘home’ means when it exists both inside you and beyond you.”

Workshop: Αrtifactory – Postcards from Home

This workshop was carried out within the Photographic Group of Komotini (FOK KOMOTINIS) . I would like to thank @postcardsfromhomenet for this opportunity to show what home is for me.

It sounds like a song, like a caress, like a promise, like a prize. I remember you, dad, through the experiences I lived with you and the memories of the past. I learned from you to be strong and free. That’s why I carry inside me a stable and beautiful home, wherever I go.

Life goes on like birds that travel in the world, but the smile of my father, when he was a little child, still remains above all difficulties of life. It reminds me to be calm and happy, to be myself, it’s like home.

Home is me in my mother’s arms, when I was a little child in the time of innocence and safety. An old book that belonged to my father, that has the title “Love” tells me about the years he was a little boy, when he was going to school and was in his mother’s arms.
Love creates a home, connects people and a whole world. Love stays forever.

A long walk in the countryside with my mother, where we discover beautiful places together. This is home for me…
