This photograph belongs to the series "Conversations." Evoking Dutch still-life as inspiration, these beautiful, contemporary tabletops contemplate technology's implications upon human interaction and memory. Shared meals with friends and family throughout Europe and America celebrate intimacy and culture in today’s frenetic, always-connected lifestyle. "Confabulate" took place while desserting with my nearly 80-year old aunt and her friends in a quaint Grecian village. Since my last visit, this was my first time observing their initiation into the mobile-phone world. At least for this moment, these human bastions were distracted by local, hand-baked traditional sweets (from the only bakery in-town) during afternoon tea. Christos is a 1st-gen Greek-American fine-artist whose photographs probe themes of socioeconomics, culture, history, and architecture. As strong symbolic sparks in a frenetic 21st-century tangle, his creative intrigue is informed by identity, connection, nostalgia, and isolation.
