Beloved You,
I send you my postcards from Home.
Home means and will always mean protection, togetherness, affection, memories, a point of departure and return, growing, acceptance, belonging. The sense of home is an immaterial notion. But it is connected to our bodies and to the landscape. Bodies get hungry or frieze, they move and dance, they hug and fight. And Landscapes change, they bloom, are getting explored and sold, are explored, exploited and sold, destroyed, abandoned, uninhabited.
Fear is coming up.
I counter fear with memory. emembering our deep human need for shelter, food and affection, no, not only human, but every living's. Creating encounters with other living beings, with the land-scapes, and with the every-moving - the memories, stories, habits, ideas, dreams, pasts and futures.
That's when fear fades away, that's when a sense of "HOME" is created.
With Love from the Critical Landscapes

CRITICAL LANDSCAPES//FEAR//LOVE
In “CRITICAL LANDSCAPES” unexpected encounters happen, creating possibilities and space where love can "happen" as a catalyst for caring, advocacy and the ability to dream the future: our need and effort to "inhabit" the landscapes and have our voices heard in shaping life within them.
“HOW TO COPE with all that” was written in every gaze, move or sentence, and in-between the lines I found the most tender expressions of that anguish, always feeling included and embraced in a particular relationship. This was the point where the sense of discomfort faded.

CRITICAL LANDSCAPES//FEAR//LOVE
Στα "CRITICAL LANDSCAPES" συμβαίνουν απροσδόκητες συναντήσεις, δημιουργώντας δυνατότητες και χώρο όπου η αγάπη μπορεί να "συμβεί" ως καταλύτης για φροντίδα, υπεράσπιση και την ικανότητα να ονειρευόμαστε το μέλλον. Όλα δείχνουν τη βαθιά μας ανάγκη να "κατοικήσουμε" τα τοπία και να ακουστεί η φωνή μας στη διαμόρφωση της ζωής μέσα σε αυτά.
Το "πώς να τα αντιμετωπίσω όλα αυτά" ήταν γραμμένο σε κάθε βλέμμα, κίνηση ή πρόταση, και ανάμεσα στις γραμμές έβρισκα τις πιο τρυφερές εκφράσεις αυτής της αγωνίας, νιώθοντας πάντα ότι συμπεριλαμβάνομαι και αγκαλιάζομαι σε μια ιδιαίτερη σχέση. Αυτό ήταν το σημείο όπου η αίσθηση της δυσφορίας ξεθώριαζε.
