EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo captured by Alexandros Avramidis, we are presented with a powerful juxtaposition of symbols and emotions. Against the backdrop of a serene blue sky dotted with fluffy clouds, a Greek flag flutters proudly on a flagpole. However, what catches our attention is the striking image seen through it - another flag depicting the Vergina sun. This photograph was taken during a demonstration in Thessaloniki, Greece on June 24th, 2018. The demonstration was held to protest against an agreement reached between Greece and Macedonia regarding the former Yugoslav republic's name dispute. The creative use of capturing one flag through another adds depth to the composition while symbolizing conflicting sentiments within Greek society. The architectural elements surrounding the scene further enhance its impact. A building stands tall in the background, representing stability and permanence amidst political turmoil. The white color of both flags signifies purity and unity but also serves as a canvas for expressing patriotism. Avramidis skillfully captures not only an atmospheric moment but also real people engaged in their civic duty. This full-frame shot invites viewers to contemplate how national identity can be intertwined with personal beliefs and values. Through his lens, Avramidis encapsulates both weathered stripes of history and contemporary struggles for recognition – reminding us that photographs have immense power to convey complex narratives beyond words alone.
