My work entitled “Baptized In the Sea” is an example of a personal need for expression on the issue of transformation (symbolically, conceptually, experientially and artistically), following my poem “When the Page Turning Becomes Breath”. “Try, continue your exercises… Look how the sea constantly mixes sky and seaweed, struggling to find its right color” - Aris Alexandrou (Greek writer). Specifically, the work “Baptized In the Sea” was my final project in the Video Art course on the topic: “Transitions”. Thus, I decided to use as the main motivation of the work three of my personal texts/poems to express myself on this topic. I wanted to refer to a traumatic experience of mine and my simultaneous diagnosis with depression about two and a half years ago, talking about the before, during and after of the whole experience. As the French writer André Gide once said, “Man cannot discover new oceans if he does not have the courage to leave the shore”…  In conclusion, the work “Baptized In the Sea” highlights - conceptually and symbolically - my personal relationship with the sea, its intimacy, inspiration and therapeutic properties for me, “The cure for everything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea” - Karen Blixen (Danish writer). As for its technical/artistic part, the work combines “storytelling”, with a descriptive and at the same time symbolic - abstract character through the moving image (video), speech and musical accompaniment. "The human heart is much like the sea: it has its storms, its tides and its depths. It also has its pearls" - Vincent Van Gogh (Dutch painter)
