Photo Essay: ATH


Athens is a remarkable city, offering an abundance of culture and timeless beauty. However, it also has another, less glamorous side. This side might appear a bit rougher and off the beaten tourist paths, but it is nonetheless ubiquitous. It boldly adorns the rooftops of the city, permeates the remotest corners, and winds its way through the subway tunnels.

The city has been shaped and molded by countless people to become what it is today. It's not just about giving space to one's own creativity, but rather about acting freely and reclaiming the right to participate in shaping public space.
