Project Title: The Dream – Goddess in Crete

Medium: Video, Poetry & Music

Date: July 2019

Inspired by inspiration, thoughtfulness and honesty. 

Since a couple of years I’m able to spend my holidays at Elounda Island Villas. I’m a young composer, videographer and poet. The lonely island first scared me. I couldn’t handle the silence and pureness of the place. I could hear myself. No noises or influences were drowning my thoughts. As the time went by, I started to let it go and let myself go. To listen to myself, be inspired by the simple nature and unique (but few) people.

This summer I decided to capture my impression of Elounda Island Villas through a video, music and poem. Leda supported me 100% and taught me much along the way. She’s strong, opinionated and open minded. “Don’t try to be a model, be the muse” – was one of my favorite quotes by her. As you can see: she’s also wise.

I feel honored to be an “artist in residence” at such an amazing spot on this earth. My poem should express the feeling you’ll get during your stay here. It’s like a dream. You’ll fly without the storm, darkness will give you light. You’ll experience simple luxury, pure nature – that’s simply luxurious.
