Where Worlds Collide

For my artwork on the New Waterfront of Thessaloniki my goal was to capture a moment of Thessaloniki’s multicultural soul through a vibrant & dynamic interplay of geometry, forms, & pop colors.

A rain of “Shards of Knowledge” & overpolarized pixels symbolises the various cultural layers of the city which like hail crashing down, they constantly transform & regenerate the life of the city, while simultaneously leaving the imprint of their unique identity.

The linear part of the artwork was created using high density linear barcode symbology, where the word “Thessaloniki” can be read when artwork is scanned with a barcode scanner.

This artwork seeks to engage the senses & open a dialogue with the viewer about Thessaloniki’s role in the digital age as a crossroad of cultures, a place that continuously evolves & reborn through its rich & multilayered heritage.
