Phos and the Untold
I explore the transformative power of light, or phos in Greek, as a force of healing and renewal. This autobiographical photographic series emerged from a personal journey through a dark period in my life, where I learned that light is not merely an element of visibility but a profound symbol of hope. Light, in this context, became a metaphor for strength, a reminder of the potential to rebuild and create a new world from fractured pieces. In the words of artist Björk, after trauma, we must “dig a cave into the future” and demand space for hope. My aim is to lead the viewer to the light.
Bio Dora Grivopoulou is a emerging Greek photographer celebrated for her emotive storytelling and distinctive artistic vision. For over forty years, she lived without creative expression until photography became her gateway to imagination. Guided by intuition, she transforms emotions into lines, shapes, and colours, blurring the boundaries between photography and painting. Her work has been featured in exhibitions across Greece, Italy, and beyond, and in private art collections. Dora is a member of WorkShowGrow and Moments Collective, continually honing her craft.
