    “I believe…humans in their core are social creatures and this requires proximity….Although we seem to be more connected, at some level we might be growing apart.” – Dimitra Aggelou, Athens, Greece

    About the Photographer

    Alexandros Lambrovassilis (b. 1970, Greece)
    Throughout human history, people are shaped by the environment, locally and globally. I consider our physical or constructed environment to be the ‘face of our planet’ which reflects the human condition as we’ve encountered and reshaped it across the longitudes and latitudes. What is it that people see when they leave their homes to go to school, to work? How do they relate to their environment? Where is their favorite place in their village or city?
