Honorable Mention
The history of Space Baroque
DESCRIPTION
50 years after 2033, the year the first person set foot on Mars, the planet now serves as the refuge of Earth's Elite. The descendants of the pioneering colonists have managed to tame the laws governing natural selection and are now fully adapted to living and existing beyond the 'Dome,' the colony created by the first Earthlings on Mars. However, natural selection did not come without a cost! The new generation of Earthlings – Arians, despite thriving on the red planet, far from the suffocating atmosphere created on Earth by pollution and global warming, unfortunately, is bald and has vision problems. Nevertheless, they are still part of Earth's elite, living and breathing freely, while having control over and profiting from the rich soil of the red planet by exporting food produced on Mars. To resemble their former Earthly selves, they have revived the Baroque style as a fashion trend while relying on advanced biometric glasses for vision problems. And since they are the Elite, all inhabitants of the solar system, from the colony on the moon to the impoverished neighborhoods on Earth, and even the headquarters of the global space station, have embraced this particular trend!

I am an Athennean born and raised, biomedical scientist by profession. Took many art classes as a kid and young adult took photos for as long as I can remember. When the transition to analogue photography took place I decided to attend a yearly photography course in Corinth Greece. That was 7 years ago. Since then I've attended many photography workshops and seminars and two editing short courses. I am an active member of the Corinthian Photography club and the photogroup Encounters in Corinth Greece.
