EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Alkis Konstantinidis, a frayed Greek national flag defiantly flutters among antennas atop a building in central Athens. The image, taken on July 20,2015, serves as a powerful symbol of Greece's struggle and resilience during its financial crisis. The damaged flag stands alone against the clear blue sky, waving proudly amidst the chaos that surrounds it. Its tattered stripes and worn-out fabric tell a story of hardship and perseverance. Despite the challenges faced by the nation, this flag remains steadfast in representing Greek patriotism. Perched high on the roof of a building, surrounded by antennas and under an open sky, the frayed flag seems to command attention from all who pass by. It is as if it is calling out for unity and strength in times of adversity. This aerial view provides us with a general perspective of Athens' cityscape while emphasizing this singular symbol of national identity. The creative use of space allows for contemplation on what it means to be Greek during such trying times. Alkis Konstantinidis has skillfully captured both the physical state of Greece's national emblem and its profound emotional significance. This print serves as a reminder that even when battered by storms or torn apart at its seams, the spirit embodied within this simple piece of cloth endures - unyielding and unwavering.
