This chandelier in the lobby of Excelsior Hotel reminded me of koi fish floating gracefully. Heritage, like these fish, can be alive, dynamic, and evolving — not just preserved.

Its curves, light, and shape reflect Thessaloniki’s past and present coexisting, forming a bridge to the future. This photograph captures Future Heritage, showing how tradition and modernity meet, letting the city’s legacy float forward into tomorrow.

Footnote on koi symbolism: Koi fish represent longevity, luck, and sustainability, and their movement embodies living heritage — evolving while staying rooted.𓆝 𓆟 𓆞
