About The Artwork
Mitrovica, September 1999. Amidst the war in Kosovo, a young Kosovar boy departs from his shattered home, walking barefoot and cradling a religious art frame. Each step he takes through the damping ground becomes a poignant testament to the harsh realities imposed by conflict. The juxtaposition of the sacred image and the desolation surrounding him speaks volumes about the endurance of faith amid adversity. The boy's proud gaze, resolute yet filled with innocence, mirrors the profound impact of war on the lives of those forced to abandon their homes. The absence of shoes against the rugged terrain becomes a powerful metaphor for the displacement and hardship endured by the young boy and his community. This visual narrative captures the indomitable spirit of a generation marked by the scars of conflict, using faith and determination as a guiding light through the darkest of times in Kosovo's tumultuous history.

Greece
Award-winning photographer Yannis Kontos is no stranger to unusual situations. From the everyday life of an amputee in Sierra Leone to warzones around the world, to the streets of Pyongyang, North Korea, Kontos’s lens has captured unadorned but with respect a set of realities unknown to global audiences. His work has been featured in many well-respected publications like Life magazine or the cover of Time magazine. Social issues and the human factor are always center stage in the World Press Photo winner’s 30 year-long career in documentary work, but for his landscape art, it seems that he takes quite a different approach. Currently, Yannis Kontos is an Assistant Professor of Visual Studies and Creative Industries at the College of Humanities and Social Sciences of United Arab Emirates University. He holds a PhD degree in Documentary Photography from the University of Wales (UK) and a Master of Arts degree in Photographic Journalism from the University of Westminster (UK).
