At a time when girls have had little or no access to education, a boarding school run by nuns in a small Aegean
island was accepting the girls of aristocratic families from Europe and the Middle East, along with local students
and orphans regardless of their religion and doctrine. Over the years despite the political and economical
conditions of Greece this school was providing high class education as well as practical skills preparing the girls
to face the real life challenges.
For my images I walk on the footprints of the girls and the nuns through the corridors to the classes, the rooms,
the garden. I observe little personal belongings, their books, their toys. I stare through half open windows to see
their lifes. I read long lists of names enclosing the memory of the school.
