Medea

Creator

Dimitriou, Evangelia

Abstract

This digital story explores in a very personal way themes of isolation, emotional imprisonment, and the tension between longing for escape and fearing the unknown. Inspired by Pasolini’s Medea, Tracey Emin’s raw artistry, and Cavafy’s poem The Windows, it blends archival material with personal footage to create a deeply introspective visual and auditory experience. Using muted colors, symbolic imagery, and a somber, reflective tone, my project highlights the protagonist’s confinement—both personal and societal. A voice-over narration of Cavafy’s poem gives the the emotional phase and struggle, questioning whether freedom is truly liberating or just another form of constraint.
