"These Earthly Shores" is a corpus of images that explores the definition and origin of the poetic landscape as it relates to memory and time. The geography of the place becomes a depiction of a peculiar natural beauty that emerges as a memory rather than a faithful representation of its physical form. The natural world is transformed into a set of symbolic "portraits" that reflect the emotional connection to various pasts, the senses, the complexities, the nostalgic and invisible stories woven into the human soul. Landscapes acquire qualities of human being where they attempt to shape poetic fields - "shelters" - and to capture the descriptions of nature as inventions of the mind and therefore amenable to all kinds of interpretation.
People Will Slowly Rise
To love is to think
Alberto Caeiro, The Amorous shepherd
People will slowly rise
They will sail again
They will travel
They will become a voyage
– golden wind –
They will return to water
/ the transparent tomb of words /
- Poem by Dimitris Leontzakos
