She states: "this work does not have a specific period…. I think it started silently, silently but decisively, in the summer of '74, it gave all the supplies!
I was 14 and I reached 60! Yes, there was a beginning, but I believe it has no end. Even this coveted return if ever θα will not be able to stop what has already been built within us! The wounds are there, our parents are not! The years are gone, life is over πολλές many silences… 45 Seas 45 silences was just symbolic for the 45 years away from Famagusta, away from our home, away from the life we would have… I will always make and write about our Sea… not any sea, but the one that was stolen from us… This presentation includes 75 works with speech, combined with elements of glass and clay ”.
In the first presentation of the exhibition, which took place in Larnaca, in the building of the branch of the Lyceum of Greek Women of Famagusta, the poet Alexandra Galanou states: “The poetic writing of Elena Georgiou touches the reader with her immediacy and simplicity. With a strong poetic voice, she transforms images and words into emotions that do not leave us indifferent, but make us her companions in a journey inside our soul, the soul of every person who has experienced or is still experiencing loss and absence ……. A deposit of soul, a hymn of love, a journey of reminiscence or a combination of speech and art, poetry and visual creation? All this and much more through the emotion that gushes effortlessly from the works of Elena Georgiou. With the sea inside her, around her, in her arms, in her dreams and reality. … To stir up the heart… ”
