A Little Tipota

At the end of autumn, nourished by the first rains after months of drought, Cyprus's Middle Eastern landscape awakens swiftly. The palette of ochres gives way to a festival of green, the vegetation boldly asserts itself and transforms the landscape. Who do we encounter on this colorful and vibrant land? The artisans, now fallen into disuse, in the old city of Nicosia, its capital. Like a reflection of a world coming to an end. The hardworking immigrants driven by the will to escape poverty. The fighters, those who refuse to accept the criminal underworld. The music singing of the beauty of the Cypriot soul as well as the vices that are destroying them. At the crossroads of continents, refuge, transit, resort, military base, cradle of Aphrodite, lawless zone... The multifaceted island reveals itself in an impressionistic portrait.
