Her Dissertation Project "7 boxes" was a study on the nowadays relationship between Athens' people and their city, viewed by the stories of 7 completely different characters who where selected to develop their own unique stories into one final coherent theme. Combining people and buildings, illustration and photograhy, colors and objects, thoughts, feelings and sounds of the city. Every box had a different story to tell. 7 souls.
