EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a powerful protest in the northern city of Thessaloniki, Greece. Against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, a statue of Alexander the Great stands tall and proud, symbolizing Greek heritage and history. Waving Greek national flags fill the frame as demonstrators rally against the use of the term "Macedonia" in any solution to a dispute between Athens and Skopje over the former Yugoslav republic's name. The image is beautifully composed with creative use of color and focus. The white stripes on the waving flags contrast sharply against the vibrant blue sky, creating an atmosphere charged with passion and determination. The horse-mounted statue of Alexander adds depth to this scene, its imposing presence serving as a reminder of Greece's glorious past. Notably absent from this photograph are people; however, their absence only amplifies their collective voice heard through this demonstration. It is an image that speaks volumes about unity and national pride. Photographer Alexandros Avramidis skillfully captures both historical significance and contemporary political tension within one frame. This print serves as a visual testament to Greece's unwavering stance on preserving its cultural identity while navigating complex diplomatic challenges.
