Journey To The Roots

This project was undertaken to understand the trauma caused by my grandfather and grandmother, who were born and raised in Thessaloniki, known as Northern Greece, and Yenice-i Vardar (Giannitsa), having to leave the land where they were born and lived after the 1912 Balkan War. It also reflects the traumas experienced by the Gazi Evrenos family, who conquered Northern Greece and were forced to leave the lands they lived on.
