What follows is a view of Mozambique from 1977 to the present through the stories of the author, who is a doctor, a hospital, and the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paoli. The story tells how a decision, which at the time seemed of minimal importance, had completely unexpected and far-reaching consequences many years later.

NEW YORKERS AND THEIR ENVIRONMENTS is in a way a small part or my seven-year ECLECTIC series of double exposure photographs where each city around the world has its own distinctive pace of elements, circumstances, colours; an array of miscellanea that shape what we call memory; a human quality as ephemeral as ever-changing. In ''NEW YORKERS AND THEIR ENVIRONMENTS'' I focused on different streets and areas of New York that capture the surroundings and locations where New Yorkers may cross on their way to work as landmarks. It reveals the true essence of the daily life of New Yorkers in one of the most if not the most cosmopolitan and challenging city in the world. All pictures were taken with a 35mm and 120mm film cameras applying the double exposure technique using an 800ISO colour film on my way around the city trying to capture the mood and the liveliness that this incredible metropolis city offers.

Do you think that the first space colony created by mankind will happen during your lifetime? Technology has advanced so quickly over the past few years. In the overall scheme of things, we're just a flash in the pan and yet we've done so much to change our planet. Humankind is leaving a profound legacy on Earth, exploiting its resources to turn it into the sanctuary that we want it to be or perhaps farewelling a paradise that we've already lost.

My childhood memories of summer holidays on the Aegean seaside have formed a deep relationship with water in my psyche. As a child, playing in water gave me relaxation as well as pleasure. I found swimming to be an exciting way of exploring a foreign terrain, an access to a muted world away from the noise of the land. In this quietude and foreignness, I had peace. As I grew older, I came to relate the experience of being enveloped in water to what I imagine humans experience in the prenatal state, bringing out a sense of safety, serenity, and inner balance. Swimming became a way for me to feel what it is like to be free. Being in water to me is a naïve, magical, and sensual experience, reminding of youthful innocence.

In the course of my travels, I happened upon landscapes that had a mysterious power. Their contemplation mobilized my imagination and provoked an emotional reaction that went beyond the appreciation of their beauty. My thoughts wandered through their poetry. These places left lasting memories that I combine into single-layered images, to create INscapes. To paraphrase the words of the Surrealist author Philippe Soupault, with these images, I traveled inward in search of inner landscapes.
