Most of the images for this exhibition come from a small project I ran on my Instagram account when I visited Ikaria last year. Much has been said about the longevity of Ikarian People and their joie de vivre. I wanted to do a project about the people I knew and grew to love, who are one of the main reasons I love this island.
