My drawing explores the theme of “Accessibility and Inclusion” by presenting two contrasting perspectives of my city, Thessaloniki, through different lenses. The black-and-white lenses depict the real, often inaccessible side of the city—structures and spaces that feel cold, uninviting, and disconnected from the diverse needs of its inhabitants. This perspective highlights the barriers that many face in navigating the urban environment.
In contrast, the vibrant lenses portray an ideal, inclusive version of the city—a place full of color, life, and connection, where architecture embraces accessibility and fosters a sense of belonging for everyone. The lively details and welcoming atmosphere invite viewers to imagine a city where design prioritizes inclusivity, creativity, and community.
Through this juxtaposition, my artwork seeks to challenge viewers to reflect on the current state of our cities and envision a more accessible and inclusive future.
