It The illustration book will be published in 2023
"Ithaca Not Found"   (Δεν βρέθηκε Ιθάκη)

Ithaca not found unravels a personal journey of migration searching for a place of "belonging" after the closure of a twenty-year cycle living in England. Ιt refers to the experience of traveling back and forth between two countries, Greece and Great Britain, grieving over the losses along the way whilst experiencing the barriers of the pandemic. Having selected references to Homer's Odyssey the book creates a parallel to Odysseus’ last part of the journey trying to return to Ithaca. Swimming alone in the sea he overcomes the continuous obstacles sent by Poseidon traveling back and forth between waves. Both stories capture the period of time before the homecoming’s completion highlighting the timeless struggle of a person to discover their own identity and belonging.
