    This series of images refers to the challenging process of securing a home, a safe space in a European country of constantly rising rents and gentrification. It is a long-term process shaped as much by memory and emotions as by bricks and beams. Based on his childhood memories of his parents building their family home, as well as stories from relatives who lived through the difficult conditions of the post-dictatorship period in Greece, the photographer reflects on how home is less a fixed place and more a constantly changing negotiation. Several of the photographs borrow the explanatory style of a manual from a large furniture chain, with the difference that here the manual is broken. Instead of offering polished images of completion, the photographs focus on the in-between: unfinished rooms, corners filled with intentions, gestures of care and improvisation. The work embraces imperfection and reexamines what it means to inhabit, build, and belong.
