About the event
The exhibit will run from March 20th through 26th, 2025.
Sunrise to sunset and in all types of weather, I've had the privilege to go behind the scenes, into a world not many have had access to. My collection endeavors to re-enliven the Hellenic spirit and honor the heroes of our great nation within the hearts of the Hellenes and Philhellenes, not just in Greece, but worldwide.

Through my photography, my aim is to tell the story of the incredible Evzone in the modern era, cloaked in symbolism that extends into their every move guarding centuries of tradition. The exhibit will feature never-before-seen moments in modern history of the Evzones against the backdrop of the Acropolis, the Athenian skyline, the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Presidential Mansion, the Olympic Stadium, the Good Friday Epitaphio procession in Athens, and in New York up and down the Canyon of Heroes…
