The Architecture of Waiting: Displacement and Resilience on Lesvos
LESVOS, GREECE – JULY 2025: Barriers, temporary structures, abandoned objects and traces of everyday life form the visual landscape of a camp on the Greek island of Lesvos. Caterina Alafogianni’s series “The Architecture of Waiting” explores displacement through the experience of temporariness, confinement and prolonged uncertainty. Colourful handprints, a carefully tended garden and other signs of human presence emerge as quiet expressions of resilience. Photo by Caterina Alafogianni / MedPress
