Please note that you are pre-ordering Sunny Days: A True Story. This is a crowdfunding product and we are actively working on its finalization. The images shown are digital mockups; the final design, size, and features may be subject to minor changes. We anticipate shipping the book to all backers by the end of the second quarter of 2026.

This offer is a limited special edition of Sunny Days: A True Story. Both the book and the accompanying artist print (250 × 200 mm) will be personally signed.

Sunny Days: A True Story explores an abandoned, former major arterial road in Northern Greece. The project documents the path's remnants, which are decaying due to neglect and the impact of the new, parallel highway. The familiar landmarks are now covered in dust and being forgotten.

The series uses a deliberate, composed style to document unsettling spaces and select artifacts that belong to a strange, mysterious world. Found objects are presented as significant findings. The project also features people living off-grid in this area — hermits, runaways, and artists — who are documented as the main characters of the narrative. Their self-contained lives and the landscape’s transformation are contrasted with local development schemes and exclusion policies.
