Nereus (the Old Man of the Sea) Ed. 1 of 5

This image is taken from my series Αυτοπροσωπογραφία, which explores my Greek heritage, with each self-portrait representing a facet of my identity. Illustrated through the lens of ancient mythology, I have allowed the stories of my past to inform my present. Here, I take on the role of Nerues, the old man of the sea, and the Nereids, the sea nymphs.
